AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Monotype ink, circa 1960, framed: 30×23 cm

Georges Folmer is today recognized as an important figure in postwar French abstraction. His work is included in the major public and museum collections in France, underscoring the historical solidity and institutional recognition of his practice.

Deeply attached to paper and ink techniques, Folmer produced works of great delicacy, long kept in private collections. As a result, Georges Folmer’s works rarely appear on the market, particularly his colored inks and color compositions from the 1960s, a period that is today the most sought after.

This rarity, coupled with established institutional recognition, gives its works patrimonial and collector’s value. Each appearance on the market thus constitutes a remarkable opportunity for lovers of abstract art and discerning collectors.
