W.H. Auden Autograph manuscript poem, "Elegy for J.F.K.", signed, 1 page, 8vo (205 x 140mm), headed stationery of 3062 Kirchstetten, Austria, lightly creased "...Remembering his death How we choose to live Will decide its meaning..." Auden agreed to write an elegy for President Kennedy when dining with Stravinsky in January 1964. He completed the poem a month later and Stravinsky set it for baritone and three clarinets. The piece had its premiere in Los Angeles on 6 April, conducted by Robert Craft. It was first published in the Sunday Times on the anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination, 22 November 1964. The poem was subsequently included in the collection About the House (1965). PROVENANCE Sale in these rooms, 20 July 1989, lot 159

Original Film Posters

JFK (1991) Poster, US, Signed by Oliver Stone (director)

JFK (1991) Poster, US, Signed by Oliver Stone (director) Unframed: 40 x 27 in. (101.6 x 68.6 cm) Mr. Sohal met Oliver Stone at a book signing of The Untold History of the United States at Senate House, University of London. It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves. This film was directed by Oliver Stone and stars Kevin Costner, Kevin Bacon, Tommy Lee Jones, Laurie Metcalf, and Gary Oldman. The film looks at the events leading up to the assassination of American President John F. Kennedy, from the perspective of the former New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner). Garrison brought about his own investigation into the assassination of the President, and charges against businessman Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones) were made for his alleged participation in a conspiracy to assassinate the President. However, an investigation by the Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald (Gary Oldman) assassinated President Kennedy and that he had acted alone in doing so.
