Description

Rare, early autographed portrait of piano prodigy Glenn Gould

Canadian pianist, composer, and commentator (1932-1982) revered as one of the foremost classical pianists of the 20th century, and renowned for his interpretations of the keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Very desirable vintage glossy 8 x 10 portrait of a young Gould in a decidedly focused pose by Gaby of Montreal, signed and inscribed in ballpoint before opting for fountain pen, "To Marius Risley, Best wishes, Glenn Gould.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered light surface creases. Gould remains quite rare across all signed formats, with this representing the only signed photo we have offered in nearly a decade.
