Horowitz, Valdimir (1903-1989). Russian-born pianist with amazing technique and volatile temperament. Arguably the most brilliant pianist of the 20th century, Horowitz drew praise and criticism for his interpretations of great works for the piano.
Signed Photograph ("Vl Horowitz"). Black and white, 8 x 10", n.p., "Jan. 1966". Signed in blue ink. Minor toning to edges and top 2" of photograph is present but not distracting; 3½" crease extends from top edge to right edge, only the top of the "t" crossbar is affected; minor chips to the edges would be easily matted out. Overall, very good condition.
The genius at the piano less than one year after his sensational "Historic Return" concert -- returning to the stage after 12 years devoted to recording -- and in the midst of one of the most productive periods of his adult life.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
