Comment(s): Letters by Larionov are rarely seen on the market. This is important letter relating to the Russian ball programs of the 1920s. Autograph letter (in another hand) signed "M. Larionov." Written in French, dated October 20, 1951, from Larionov's Parisian address at 16 Rue Jacques Callot, to Ifan Kyrle Fletcher (in London?). Single-sided 1 p. 4to (10 1/2 x 8 1/4 in.). Complete English translation as follows: "I received your letter of Oct. 15, 1951. You received exactly what I sent you. I have 200 copies of what you received. I still have programs from the 'Banal Ball' in a smaller size and quantity than those I sent you earlier. I have others, but not many, and I also have some street posters. The posters can be added for free, but I do not have the same number of copies. I have some printing plates that I can give you if you want to print them the same format of the 'Transmental Ball' (two etchings on one page) and this way be able to complete the set. I will write a small text for this. This will become your edition under the ensemble title of 'The Paris Painters' Balls.' I will be in Paris by the end of the month and I will send you more etchings. What is important right now is to know if this interests you. Dear friend, please send my regards to Mrs. Fletcher.".
