Artists' Letters of Note

A letter from Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger to Andy Warhol. For their ninth album “Sticky Fingers” the Rolling Stones had asked Warhol to design the album cover.


A letter to Andy Warhol from the marketing manager for Campbell’s Soup who must have been extremely pleased with Warhol’s 32 silkscreened portraits of Campbell’s Soup Cans.

Below, a letter written by pop-art icon Keith Haring, in reply to a young aspiring artist and fan.  Haring, who is still held in high esteem on an international level, died of AIDS at the age of 31. He left behind numerous artworks, and the so called “Keith Haring Foundation”, established to assist people suffering from AIDS related diseases.
