Lot 279
Buchwald, Art (1925-2007) Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist known for political and social satire. Typed manuscript with many holograph annotations of comments made by Buchwald during a panel discussion on Jewish humor at the New School in New York on June 14, 1989. The pages are framed vertically, 25½" x 8½" and are framed with Buxhwald's business card signed, "With compliments A.B." and an image to an overall size of 38½" x 11½". Very fine. Buchwald answers the question, "What is a Jewish humorist?" with "…it has been ruled by the scholars that 'A Jewish humorist is someone whose mother was the funny one in the family.'" After many funny comments, Buchwald concludes, "The humor we write and deliver even when it's packaged as Made In the USA was created in Russia, and Poland and Hungary, and Germany and the lower east side of New York…." A wonderful memento.
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
