Rare KATHERINE DUNHAM in Bal Negre - Original 3 Sheet Poster Vancouver
I'm pleased to offer this rare or possibly one-of-a-kind original three sheet poster from a
KATHERINE DUNHAM performance of Bal Negre in Vancouver, Canada. I'm not sure of the year but am guessing 1940s or 50s, possibly 1960s. This came from the estate auction of her
friend
Hugh Pickett who I believe also worked with her in Canada.
Bio:
Katherine
Dunham (June 22, 1909 – May 21, 2006) was an American dancer, choreographer, author, educator, and social activist. Dunham had one of the most successful dance careers in American and European theater of the 20th century, and directed her own dance company for many years. She has been called the "matriarch and queen mother of black dance".
Each sheet measures about 42 by 27.25 inches. Each sheet has toning, creases, folds, edge fraying, some edge tears and there a few tears at the folds. Please look at the photos carefully. I have more if you want to see something closer.
These will be shipped folded.
Please check out my other items from
Katherine Dunham including a rare signed autobiography, rare posters, and autographed photos.
This item is from the estate of Hugh Pickett of Vancouver. His estate was auctioned in Vancouver and you can read more about it by searching: "Hugh Pickett memorabilia collection
