An interesting collection of Madonna and related memorabilia and art to include:

A page of 'Lowell' hotel stationery (18.5x26.cm) bearing a lengthy handwritten note from Madonna to British actor Phillip Sayer (1946-1989) including a signature by Madonna. Likely c 1986/7 See below for full text of letter.

Also to include a 1985 Sire 8x10" promo photo of Madonna with handwritten inscription and signature by Madonna to read 'Philip your heart is too big love what am I gonna do without you. Call me. Love Daisy' - 'Daisy' was a name used by Madonna in correspondence with friends and family.

Also - an original work by Madonna's brother and acclaimed artist Christopher Ciccone. Oil on board, titled 'St Philip', signed by the artist to reverse of frame. 120x60cm. Very likely originally from Madonna's personal collection and gifted due to its title.

"Dear Philip,

I'm sitting in my hotel room in New York, reminiscing about the past, 'cause that what happens every time I come to this dirty lone rag of a city. Christopher told me you were ill so, even I though I have though fondly of you from time to time, I'm thinking of you now more than ever. It's difficult for me to be clever and consoling to someone whom I respect and whose shit detector is as highly tuned as mine. So I would just like to say that I think you're wonderful and the best thing is that dreadful movie we did together and I wish you every bit of happiness out of this life,

all my love,

Madonna'."

Provenance: originally consigned to auction by the family of Philip Sayer.
