AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Robert COMBAS (Born in 1957) – "Autoportrait" (2018)
Unique & Original Work – Marker drawing on tracing paper – Galerie Strouk
THE WORK: THE GENIUS OF FREE FIGURATION
Stunning, instinctive and jubilant, this original self-portrait is an immersion into the universe of Robert Combas, the best valued French artist. Executed with a powerful and nerve-wracking black line, this drawing captures the raw energy that made Combas the leader of Free Figuration.
A COLLECTOR'S MEDIUM: THE THEATRE OF THE SEA
This drawing is not on ordinary paper: it was executed by the artist on the title page of the catalogue for his major exhibition "The Theatre of the Sea" (Galerie Strouk, 2018). The tracing paper support offers a unique play of transparency, transforming this reference work into a true museum-grade object.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Title: Self-Portrait.
Year: 2018.

Support: Tracing paper (title page of the exhibition catalogue).
Dimensions: 26 x 21 cm.

Provenance: Galerie Strouk, Paris.
WHY THIS PIECE IS A STRATEGIC INVESTMENT?
ONE-OF-A-KIND: Unlike lithographs printed in hundreds of copies, this is an original work. There is only one in the world.
ICONIC SUBJECT: The self-portrait is the most sought-after theme among Combas collectors. It is the artist's visual signature.
HISTORICAL: The direct link with the Galerie Strouk exhibition in 2018 guarantees the authenticity and importance of the piece in the artist's recent chronology.
Rising value: Robert Combas remains a safe haven in the contemporary art market, with steady international demand.
"This lot is a rare opportunity. We move out of the world of prints to enter the realm of the original. The marker on tracing paper has a distinctive, almost electric, vibration. It is a piece of choice for a collector who wants to own 'the hand' of the master without the prohibitive prices of paintings on canvas."
