ESTEBAN VICENTE PÉREZ (Turégano, Segovia, 1903 - New York, 2001). Untitled, 1967. Ink on paper. Signed. Exhibitions: Madrid, Elvira González Gallery, "Esteban Vicente. Black and white", 17 March - 14 April 2000, page 33 (reprod.). Barcelona, Alejandro Sales Gallery, "Esteban Vicente", November 2006 (reprod.). Measurements: 48 x 70 cm; 70 x 90 cm (frame). Esteban Vicente enters, in 1921, in the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando, in Madrid, with the purpose of training as a sculptor, but soon decides to devote himself to painting. In 1928 he held his first exhibition, after which he went to Paris, where he remained until 1930. He returned to Spain and exhibited in Barcelona and Madrid, and after the outbreak of the Civil War he worked in hiding in the mountains surrounding the capital. However, the same year of 1936 he decides to go to New York, his wife's place of origin. There he exhibited for the first time at the Kleeman Gallery in 1937. Four years later he obtained the American nationality since, having been a supporter of the Republican side, he decided not to return to Spain. He carried out numerous commissions and exhibitions in the following years, and between 1947 and 1947 he was a professor of painting at the University of Puerto Rico. Upon his return to the United States he established a relationship with the nascent New York School, participating in his exhibitions at the Kootz Gallery (1950), the Ninth Street Art Exhibition (1951) and at the Sidney Janis and Egan Galleries. He was a founding member of the New York Studio School, where he taught for thirty-six years. From the eighties onwards his work began to be known in Spain, retrospectives were dedicated to him (Banco Exterior, 1987, and Museo Reina Sofía, 1997) and he was awarded mentions such as the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts (1990) and the Great Cross of Alfonso X the Wise (1999). In 1998 the Esteban Vicente Museum of Contemporary Art was inaugurated in Segovia, where a large part of his work is preserved today. Vicente's works are kept in major contemporary art museums around the world, such as the Metropolitan, the Guggenheim and the MOMA in New York, the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., the Withney Museum of American Art or the Indianapolis Museum of Art, among others.

James Monroe Docketed Letter by Edward Carrington, Reclaiming Money Owed by an Associate of Haym Salomon ALS signed "Ed. Carrington," one page, 7.25 x 10.5, June 13, 1787. Edward Carrington, a soldier and statesman from Virginia, writes to "Col. James Monroe, Attorney" to inform him of the repayment of a debt owed by the bankrupt Jacob Mordecai, a noteworthy American-born Jewish businessman and partner of financier Haym Salomon. Carrington writes, in part: "The eleventh of next month is appointed for the distribution of Mr. Mordecai’s effects. He has made return of your debt, the amount as well as I recollect one hundred & ten pounds. The assignee in whose hands the list of debts is being out of Town, I cannot have recourse to it for greater certainty—it will however be necessary that you make allotment of your debt and make affidavit for the justness of it, to [entitle] you to a dividend, as Mr. Mordecai’s return only presumptively places it on the list. Will you be good enough to do this and forward it immediately to me?" Addressed on the integral leaf to Monroe by Carrington, and franked "Free, Ed. Carrington" at the bottom; docketed in Monroe's hand, "June 13, 1787, Col. Carrington." In very good condition, with overall foxing, and adhesive residue stains to the integral address leaf, which also display a repair to seal-related paper loss. Born in Philadelphia, Jacob Mordecai served as a clerk under Col. David Franks during the Revolution; afterwards he resided in New York, where in 1784 he formed a partnership with Haym Salomon, a leading financier of the patriot cause during the Revolution. They maintained an auction house at the corner of Wall and Pearl streets. Mordecai carried on their business at 22 Wall Street after Salomon’s death in 1785, until Mordecai himself went bankrupt in the winter of 1786. In a financial transaction prior to Mordecai's bankruptcy, James Monroe wrote a promissory note that said his uncle Joseph Jones would pay the amount of $530; Alexander Hamilton signed the note as security. Monroe then gave the note to Mordecai to convert to cash. When Mordecai went bankrupt and was unable to pay the full amount, Monroe was left in an uncomfortable position. In February, Monroe wrote to James Madison: 'The day before I left New York I experienc’d an unfortunate disaster, particularly upon that occasion. I had drawn a bill on mr. Jones endors’d by Colo. Hamilton for 530. dolrs. & committed it to a broker mr. Mordicai to negotiate for me. He was to have furnish’d the money the day appointed for me to leave the city. On that day he fail’d, having previously recd. & dispos’d of my money. He advanc’d me 90£ however of that currency & assur’d me he wod. certainly indemnify me altogether. I hear from Carrington he hath made a return of my debt & that he will be able to pay a considerable part of it & perhaps the whole.'
