Charlie Parker Signed Mercury Records 'Charlie Parker with Strings' Record Set Hugely desirable Charlie Parker with Strings record set from Mercury Records (C509), signed and inscribed on the inside front cover in bold blue ballpoint, “To Joe, Regards, Charlie Parker.” The set includes three 10-inch 78 RPM vinyl records containing the following songs: ‘Just Friends’ / ‘Everything Happens to Me’ (C-101), ‘East of the Sun’ / ‘You Came Along from Out of Nowhere’ (C-109), and ‘I'm in the Mood for Love’ / ‘They Can’t Take That Away From Me’ (C-109). The signed sleeve with cover design by David Stone Martin is an original issue of C-509, the second release from Bird's ‘with Strings’ sessions made for Norman Granz's labels between 1947 and 1952. These sessions with small string orchestra and rhythm sections were the realization of Parker's long-held dream to record with strings. They ultimately became the best-selling records of his lifetime. In very good to fine condition, with a crease/crack to the lower left corner of the cover. Accompanied by a 2016 letter of provenance from renowned jazz collector Norman Saks: “This letter is to authenticate an autographed ‘Charlie Parker With Strings Vol 2.’ 78 RPM album, signed on the inside photo...The signed album is reproduced on page 22 of the book Charlie Parker & Jazz Club Memorabilia: The Norman R. Saks Collection by Ken Vail. It comes from my personal collection.” Per jazz historians Richard Cook and Brian Morton: ‘There is still some pointless controversy as to the merits of Parker's with Strings projects. Pointless, because it is clear from a single chorus of 'Repetition' from 1947 or 'Stella by Starlight' in 1952 that there is a master at work here. Bird's solo construction is poised and tasteful, and much of the talk of his 'impatience' with these smooth settings is a sort of wishful thinking. He basked in them, and if on occasion he anticipates the beat, that's no more than he did with Al Haig or Thelonius Monk.’

ANTONI TÀPIES PUIG (Barcelona, 1923 - 2012). "Glissement", 1981. Etching, aquatint and carborundum, P.A. copy. Signed and justified by hand. With stamped seal of Barbará Calcografía, Barcelona. Measurements: 60 x 69 cm (print); 80,5 x 121 cm (paper). Co-founder of "Dau al Set" in 1948, Tàpies begins to exhibit in the Salones de Octubre in Barcelona, as well as in the Salón de los Once held in Madrid in 1949. After his first solo exhibition at the Layetanas Galleries, he travels to Paris in 1950, with a grant from the French Institute. In 1953 he had a solo exhibition at Martha Jackson's New York gallery. From then on, his exhibitions, both collective and individual, were held all over the world, in outstanding galleries and museums such as the Guggenheim in New York or the Modern Art Museum in Paris. Since the seventies, anthologies have been dedicated to him in Tokyo, New York, Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid, Venice, Milan, Vienna and Brussels. Self-taught, Tàpies has created his own style within the avant-garde art of the 20th century, combining tradition and innovation in an abstract style but full of symbolism, giving great importance to the material substratum of the work. It is worth mentioning the marked spiritual sense given by the artist to his work, where the material support transcends its state to signify a profound analysis of the human condition. Tàpies' work has been highly valued internationally, being exhibited in the most prestigious museums in the world. Throughout his career he has received numerous awards and distinctions, including the Praemium Imperiale of Japan, the National Culture Prize, the Grand Prize for Painting in France, the Wolf Foundation of the Arts (1981), the Gold Medal of the Generalitat de Catalunya (1983), the Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts (1990), the Picasso Medal of Unesco (1993) and the Velázquez Prize for the Plastic Arts (2003). Antoni Tàpies is represented in major museums around the world, such as the foundation that bears his name in Barcelona, the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Guggenheim in Berlin, Bilbao and New York, the Fukoka Art Museum in Japan, the MoMA in New York and the Tate Gallery in London.
