Richard Nixon Memorabilia
Norman Rockwell oil on canvas painting of Richard Nixon, signed ”Norman / Rockwell” at lower right. Painting is the study for ”Mr. President (Richard Nixon)”, which resides in the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, and was published in the 4 February 1969 issue of ”Look” magazine, captioned ”Weighed, yet buoyed, by the American past and present, Richard M. Nixon, 37th President, faces the future in this Rockwell portrait”.
Rockwell painted this study in late 1968 of then President-Elect Richard Nixon, a man whose portrait he found ”elusive” but whose features here are unmistakenly Nixon, revealing at the same time both the guardedness and warmth of the 37th President. As the premiere portraitist of the 20th century, one would expect no less from Rockwell. Oil on canvas measures 14” x 11”. Provenance is from Judy Goffman Fine Art of New York, and then subsequently the Charles E. Sigety Collection. Exhibited at the Mississippi Museum of Art in ”Norman Rockwell: The Great American Storyteller” from 2 March-15 May 1988, no. 64. Painting is in very good condition, with a stretcher bar mark along upper edge. Wax lined, with no inpainting. Sold for $125,000.

Norman Rockwell Portrait of Nixon
1960 signed Norman Rockwell portrait of Richard Nixon, done for the cover of the “Saturday Evening Post.” Charcoal on paper drawing measuring 16″ x 20.75″. Signed to lower right with the artist’s initials, “NR.” This portrait was a study for the 5 November 1960 cover of the Saturday Evening Post, which appeared amidst the presidential race one week after Rockwell’s cover portrait of Kennedy. In addition to Nixon and Kennedy, Rockwell was commissioned to paint portraits of Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson, as well as several foreign heads of state. For his many “vivid and affectionate portraits of our country,” the artist was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977, the highest honor given to an American civilian. Nixon portrait is in very good condition, with pinholes scattered along the edges, and remnants of adhesive from scotch tape scattered along the extreme edges. Corners of sheet fit into tissue pockets on backing. This study is all the more exceptional as it is the only remaining item from the Nixon-Rockwell portrait session, beyond the final portrait itself. Kennedy’s portrait, on the other hand, was lithographed in a limited edition of 2,500 and is therefore far more common than this portrait, which poignantly captures the subject’s personality that Rockwell is so famous for. Accompanied by 5 November 1960 copy of Saturday Evening Post featuring portrait on cover. The best Richard Nixon memorabilia at auction ever besides the original oil on canvas. Sold for $24,000.

We have passed through a very difficult period, but it is at such times that one learns who his real friends are; I am proud to number you among them. When I recover my health, you can be sure that in the years ahead I shall continue to work for those great goals to which we were dedicated in the years I served as President – peace for all mankind and prosperity and progress for every American. Pat joins me in sending our very best wishes.” Nixon adds a sentimental autograph note to the bottom: ”It is hard to realize that almost 14 years have passed since we worked on Six Crises -”. Included in the lot is a copy of a newspaper article on the fire that caused Nixon and Moscow to be evacuated from Nixon’s rented home in Brentwood while they were nearing completion on the book. Also included is a 10” x 8” photo of Nixon standing before a home that was destroyed in the same fire, with Moscow’s autograph caption signed to verso. Briefcase interior has address labels affixed bearing Moscow’s name. Briefcase shows heavy use by Nixon, with surface abrasions and loss of material to corners. Accompanied by a copy of a COA from Moscow. Excellent Richard Nixon memorabilia. Sold for $17,365.

Detailed handwritten note by Richard Nixon in August 1966 as a 1968 Presidential hopeful. In the midst of the Vietnam War, Nixon contrasts the U.S. advantages in the war effort with the ”Dangers” it faces, and also analyzes why the war effort had heretofore been unsuccessful. Much of the problem he places on the Johnson administration; with an entire portion of the note under ”Johnson failures” he lists ”1. Unite U.S. – 2. Unite Allies – 3. Level with people – inconsistent – up & down the hill…Failure to mobilize U.S. economy: guns + butter = not convincing”, referring to LBJ’s repeated use of the phrase. A cryptic note regarding Johnson’s failure is ”a long war – V soon be over”, crossing out what looks to be ”should”. Under the headline of ”The Dangers”, Nixon writes, ”The enemy’s major weapon is opposition to war – Division in U.S. – the conviction that [American] people will quit…Those who oppose the war effort – the Peace at any Price crowd”. On the flip side of those who opposed war, Nixon also sees a danger in ”The over optimism: ‘A quick victory’ – ‘The enemy is ready to quit’ – We must be prepared to see the war through + let enemy [?]”. He concludes this part with ”S. V.Nam – inflation – instability – Long war increases danger of escalation…” Many other interesting thoughts of the former President, including his reference to ”Free Asia” and ”More politically stable there [in Vietnam] since 1960”. Document measures 8.5” x 13.25” on one single sheet of legal paper with two staple holes at top left. Toning, otherwise near fine. Stellar Richard Nixon memorabilia. Sold for $1,000.
