Kahlo, Frida A group of correspondence from Kahlo to artist Ignacio Aguirre, circa 1935 Lot includes: 5 autograph letters on 5 leaves (from 215 x 140 to 275 mm x 208 mm), four of which written recto only, one of which written recto and verso, totaling approximately 5 1/2 pages, two of which accomplished in ink, others in pencil, one with two neat drawings of flowers, and several lipstick kisses, with 5 envelopes addressed in Kahlo's hand; old folds, minor toning. — 5 autograph notes on 3 slips of paper, one of which signed "Christina", and 2 envelopes (from 50 x 103 mm to 90 x 164 mm), two of which accomplished in ink, others in pencil; old folds, minor toning, one or two instances of minor staining. — 1 telegram (165 x 203 mm), dated 14 October 1935, and printed on Direccion General de Correos y Telegrafos stationery; minor browning, old fold, short slip to fold. Full translations available upon request. A remarkable group of intimate letters from Frida to Nacho "I slept with your flower— / It is now twelve...now you’re not going to call me? / I want to see you—to be with you close close / you left me flowers on my shoulder—red flowers. / nacho - Nachito" (translated from the original Spanish). In 1935, Frida Kahlo became involved with Ignacio "Nacho" Aguirre, a novelist and engraver from Jalisco. Prior to this, Aguirre had led a varied and fascinating life. From the time he was 15-years-old, Aguirre fought against Pancho Villa as a member of the forces commanded by Carranza, took up arms in support of General Alvaro Obregón, and worked in the Secretariat of Communications and the Office of the President of the Republic. Somehow, in the midst of all this, Aguirre made time for serious artistic study, and even his own creative pursuits. One of the founding members of the League of Revolutionary Writers and Artists, as well as the People's Graphic Workshop, in 1940 he was awarded first prize in the Latin American Engraving Exhibit at the World Fair in New York. In early 1935, Kahlo discovered that her husband, Diego Rivera, was having an affair with her younger sister, Christina. While both husband and wife had embarked on extramarital affairs in the past, the closeness of this infidelity deeply wounded Kahlo. She took an apartment in central Mexico City, and began new liaisons of her own with Isamu Noguchi and Nacho Aguirre. Kahlo and Aguirre often met at Puente de Alvarado No. 45, where the latter lived, and where the letters are addressed to (and which Kahlo always marked "For immediate delivery"). With great affection, the present letters convey the closeness that existed between the artists. Kahlo writes (again, translated form the original Spanish): Call me on the phone any morning after ten—I want to see you [...]. In any case write me—I will wait for your letter as if you yourself had arrived— Your eyes— Your marvelous hands—[...]. Kahlo then creates an acrostic, which, in Spanish, spells Ignacio, using the following words: Imán (magnet), Gaviota (seagull), Niño (boy), Amor (love), Canela (cinnamon), Isla (island), and Oceano (ocean). Don’t laugh because with the letters of your name I wrote these words. I know that no word could say what you are—but let me think—believe—that you feel how I love you. Together these letters offer a striking and emotional glimpse into Kahlo and Aguirre's relationship, illustrating both the extreme affection—and, indeed, anxiety—Kahlo felt regarding the stability of their connection. Given that the correspondence is undated, and that Aguirre's responses are not present or published, some elements of the correspondence remain tantalizingly enigmatic, though Kahlo's sense of concern is undeniable, as she concludes one letter with the following (again, translated from the original Spanish): I hope that you understand what I’m saying to you in the way that I would like, but before anything I beg that you be sincere with me and that you tell me what you think about the matter, if you believe that I wasn’t right I will [...] understand [...] and the only thing that worries me and interests me now is that there isn’t an incident of this kind that could change between us something that would be irreparable—you know what. While we know that Kahlo and Aguirre's romance wasn't to last, it would seem that their affection for one another carried on. Aguirre painted several murals, with one for the Military Aviation Library in Mexico City (sadly destroyed when the building was demolished), was a testament to his love for Frida. In a lecture Aguirre delivered in 1986—just four years before his death—he summarized his feelings for Kahlo thus: "Frida is the event of each day, with birds and flowers, forget-me-nots, pelicans, marigolds, the moisture of the garden and the aroma of a burning comal [traditional Mexican griddle]..." After being found in an Olinala Box that Aguirre kept in secret, the present letters were published in Luis Mario Schneider's Frida Kahlo Ignacio Aguirre: cartas de una pasion (1996). Sotheby's wishes to thank Professor Luis-Martín Lozano for his kind assistance with researching this lot, as well as Meeka-Kai Sands for her assistance with translations. Presumably published in Luis Mario Schneider's Frida Kahlo Ignacio Aguirre Cartas de una Pasion (1996).

TROTSKY, LEON Autograph postcard signed with his initials ("L D"), to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, in French, [Mexico City 1939] written immediately on his arrival with his wife Natalya at the house in Avenue Viena in Mexico City, expressing how touched he was to find some medicine there, noting that no one was informed beforehand [of their arrival], promising to provide a more detailed account the following day, since at the moment he is a little tired ("...Ici personne n'est prévenue mais j'espère que tout s'arrange...peu à peu. Demain je vous donnerai un conte rendu plus detaillé, pour l'instant je suis un peu fatigué...") 1 page, oblong 8vo (8.5 x 14cm), autograph address, no place or date [Avenue Viena, Mexico City, 1939], a few small water stains, affecting text, light creasing Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) was one of the leaders of the Russian Revolution in 1917, who was granted asylum in Mexico after breaking with Joseph Stalin in the 1920s. This letter is addressed by Trotsky to two other figures that are also of great cultural and historical importance, the artists Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) and Diego Rivera (1886-1957). Trotsky was born Lev Davidovich Bronstein, and signs this letter "L.B.". That this letter was written in Mexico is a result of Trotsky's dramatic break with Stalin and Stalinism. He had developed "Trotskyism" as a political theory that rejected Stalin's policy of "Socialism in One Country". Instead, Trotsky invented the principle of international "Permanent Revolution", calling for the establishment of a workers' state and the dismantling of capitalist property. He was increasingly opposed to Stalinism, especially after Stalin's assumption of complete power in 1927, and was forced to live in exile. Having been formally condemned to death in Moscow, Trotsky was offered asylum by the Mexican government in December 1936. After his arrival in Mexico in January 1937, Trotsky took up residence in the Coyoacán district of Mexico City as guests of Diego Rivera and his wife Frida Kahlo. He had a brief but passionate affair with Kahlo, lasting till about July 1937 and, by May 1939, he had also fallen out with Rivera over politics. So Trotsky and his wife Natalya moved to a nearby house on Avenida Viena, where, the following year in August 1940, he was murdered by a Soviet secret agent on Stalin’s orders.
