A mixed media self-portrait sketch on paper by Katharine Hepburn. Hepburn created the drawing while recuperating in the hospital from a leg injury in 1969 during the time she was performing Coco on Broadway. Around a central image of Hepburn's face are her list of complaints, which read in part, "What's that noise/people talking...now what's wrong - I just/ can't believe that a/ group of able bodied men can't/ figure out how to run a turn/ table -...Where is she - its last hour/ Quiet - Shut up -..." A piece of tape affixed to the sketch reads "Jerry Don't Forget Kate." When Hepburn returned to the show, she gave this drawing to stage manager Jerry Adler. Sketch, 15 by 21 1/2 inches; 23 1/2 by 30 inches, framed PROVENANCE From the Collection of Jerry Adler Categories:
