Description: Vintage Alvin Colt Tony Award Winning Costume Designer Original Design Painting. You will receive the drawing/sketch/painting in the pictures. Please use the photos to guide your bidding decisions. This original working play sketch was conceived and created by Alvin Colt. Alvin Colt was a famous Broadway/Television/Movie Costume Designer for decades. His career started in the 40s and he was still designing costumes in the 90s. This particular drawing was used to design costumes for the 1947 production of The Lady From Paris. The play was based on the life and immortal melodies of Tschaikowsky. Colt designed costumes for the first Broadway production of Guys and Dolls and won a Tony for costume design during the same decade. The New York Museum has nearly all of Colt's sketches and paintings and they did a retrospective of his work in 2007. Colt's entire drawing collection was donated to the museum after his death and there are very few in private hands. The drawing measures approximately 22 inches by 15 inches and is on a thick stock type paper which makes the piece suitable for framing. There may or may not be swatches of cloth attached to the drawing which were to be used to create the costumes. Please see our other Colt drawings for sale. Any glare in the photos is due to the fact that the pictures were taken while the painting was still in a protective plastic covering. Please see our other auctions for rare, unusual, and hard to find items. Please ask questions prior to bidding. Good Luck.
