Catalogue Note

Number 13 of 100 print signed by the artist. Al Hirschfeld was an American caricaturist best known for his portraits of celebrities and Broadway performers. Robin Williams starred in a production of Waiting for Godot, which ran at the Lincoln Center Theater in the autumn of 1988. The production was directed by Mike Nichols, and also starred Steve Martin and F. Murray Abraham.  It was Williams's performance as Estragon that helped expose his range, and establish him as an actor capable of mastering more dramatic roles. (See lot 298)
