Extremely rare ALS, one page, 5.5 x 3.5, January 12, 1970. Letter to Danny Fields in New York. In full: “I am getting nostalgic over the old life of living so solitary. Can you do anything for me in N. Y. I would follow your advise [sic]. The movie is O. K. but does not take me into my world.” Framed with a photo of Nico on stage with the Velvet Underground to an overall size of 8.25 x 10. In fine condition, with a bit of mild toning and a light postal cancellation over top of text, not affecting the legibility. The film referred to in the letter is most likely Francois de Menil’s short promotional film Evening of Light, released in December of 1969, starring Nico and her then-boyfriend Iggy Pop. De Menil, a friend of Andy Warhol’s and totally obsessed with Nico, was jealous of their relationship and used the film as a tool to hurt Nico. Not surprisingly, she was not thrilled with the final product, as evidenced by the letter offered here. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
