    Interesting letter regarding choreographer Maurice Béjart's project to adapt Klossowski's Baphomet into a ballet.
    Klossowski had met Maurice Béjart through a mutual friend, the writer and film maker François Weyergans. The idea of a ballet based on Klossowski's book Le Baphomet was born out of this meeting. This medieval baroque tale, published four years earlier, recounted the mystical vicissitudes and the religious divides of the Templar. The writer, obsessed by the project, confided his doubts about such an undertaking...

    Paris 2 Juin 1980|21 x 30 cm|une feuille recto-verso + une enveloppe
    Autograph letter signed by the writer Pierre Klossowski addressed, in French, to his Hamburg admirer Ottmar Meisel, dated June 2, 1980, 51 lines written in black ballpoint pen on a recto-verso sheet, envelope included.
    Pierre Klossowski emerges from an intense period of artistic production, exclusively pictorial, which has exhausted him: "Forgive my great delay in responding to you: which is explained by a state of extreme fatigue... following much work and, you should know, essentially pictorial: - my paintings, henceforth my exclusive mode of expression, for nearly a decade now! I no longer publish anything, except just a few commentaries...

    Handwritten letter signed by the writer Pierre Klossowski addressed to Maurice Béjart, dated 4 March 1991.
    29 lines written in black ink on one leaf.
    Just like a poem, this beautiful and passionate letter was written in a long column of text. Klossowski congratulates the choreographer on his autobiography Mort subite published the same year and is amazed that Béjart's literary tastes are so similar to his own.
    In the letter, Pierre Klossowski highlights the affinities that link him to Béjart. He devotes a long passage to Mort subite, Béjart's last book about his famous father, the philosopher Gaston Berger: "La...
