Description

Oficially addressed to 'Vsekokudozhnik' [abbreviation for 'All-Cooperative-Artist']. Lipchitz reminds the receiver that while his visit to Moscow in 1935, he made an agreement with 'Vsekokudozhnik' to produce a monument related to one of three themes. The deadline was 7 August 1936, and Lipchitz met it and he knows that the sculpture was received in time and intact. Lipchitz says that he has not had any updates since then. He wonders 'what was the reaction of the artistic public to my work. I would be very grateful if you tell me how I can receive my fee from 'Vsekokudozhnik' as well'.
