【Product details】

A beautifully stylized, large-scale original limited-edition abstract art print titled "Indian Summer" (インディアンサマー) by the acclaimed artist Genevieve Hugon, numbered 36/75.

This striking contemporary composition features a stunning interplay of geometric shapes, rich textures, and organic lines reminiscent of late 20th-century Art Deco revival aesthetics. Printed on high-quality, heavy-textured art paper with natural deckled edges, the piece balances earthy autumn tones with deep shadows to perfectly capture the essence of its title.

The print is hand-numbered 36/75 on the lower left and pencil-signed by the artist "G. HUGON" on the lower right.

Artist Profile: Genevieve Hugon
Genevieve Hugon is an accomplished French artist and printmaker active during the late 20th century, particularly known for her sophisticated graphic compositions in the 1970s and 1980s. Her work seamlessly bridges the gap between classic Art Deco geometries and modern abstract minimalism. Characterized by a refined sensitivity to color harmony and deep tonal contrasts, Hugon’s limited-edition lithographs and prints gained significant popularity in the European contemporary art and interior design scenes, celebrated for their poetic, architectural elegance.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON SALE & SHIPPING FORM:
Please note that this lot is for the ART SHEET ONLY. The frame shown in the images is for display and storage purposes.

CURRENT STATE: The artwork is currently tightly framed and permanently adhered/mounted to the backing structure inside the frame.

SHIPPING METHOD: Upon purchase, the art sheet will be carefully unmounted (peeled off) from the frame, gently rolled, and shipped securely.

Because of this required removal process, please expect tape residues, adhesive marks, or minor paper skinning on the reverse (back) side of the sheet.

Condition & Important Disclaimers
Acquired from long-term display; sold as-is with visible age-related characteristics:

Front Surface: There are several visible foxing spots / age stains (shimi) scattered across the front surface of the art paper (particularly along the lighter margins/borders). Please inspect the photos closely to observe the condition.

Reverse Side (Unseen): Because the artwork is currently fully mounted and sealed flat against the frame backing, the exact condition of the reverse side cannot be inspected before removal. Bidders should accept that there may be hidden foxing, age-toning, or discoloration on the back in addition to the adhesive marks from unmounting.

Please study all provided photos thoroughly to understand the aesthetic patina, paper texture, and actual condition of this limited-edition sheet before bidding.

Note: Shipped rolled; please expect some natural curling upon unrolling.

Dimensions (Approx.)
Art Sheet Size: Height 99.0 cm × Width 49.5 cm
