Chinese-French painter (1920-2013) known for his large abstract works; in 2018, his triptych 'Juin-Octobre 1985' sold for $65 million, breaking the record for a work by an Asian artist. ALS in French, one page, 8.25 x 10.5, April 19, 1961. Handwritten letter by Zao Wou-Ki, in part (translated): "Thank you for your letter. Very happy to have received your news. More than a month and a half ago, my wife got sick. She had a very delicate operation first of all, she couldn’t rest well afterward, and things became serious; she’s resting since then. We’ve gone through a very difficult time; I hope that we’ll have better days soon. As you asked me for the sketch of my studio: I don’t have the architect’s drawing. I hope my sketch will be of some use to you. Thank you again for your kind intention to lend me your loft." In fine condition.
