Lost Drawing Of Nessie By Escher

A long forgotten painting was found in an old Italian attic. The painting had been put aside for years, until traffic police office Raffaele De Feo decided to examine the drawing up close. The drawing was done in 1949 and was signed by M.C. Escher and titled “Loch Ness Monster and Black Man without a Face”.

    Dear DE Feo Raffaele

    Thank you for the letter and information that you sent Tate Modern, which have now been
    Discussed by the curatorial team at Tate Modern and have been passed to me for reply. While we
    Appreciate your thoughtful proposal, exhibitions and displays are planned far in advance. Our
    Calendar is now completely booked through 2009, and we are reluctant to commit to any new
    Projects until we are fuether along in planning for the shows that are currently being organised by
    Our own curatorial staff.

    I am sorry to be the bearer of such disappointing news, but on behalf of the team here, I should
    Like to wish you every success in realising your idea elsewhere.

    Thank you for thinking of Tate Modern.

    Yours sincerely,
    Aleanor Jones
    Director’s Office
    Tate Modern
