Description from the seller
An extraordinary and highly sought-after original artwork by the French master Bernard Aubertin (1934–2015), a prominent figure and historic member of the international avant-garde movement "ZERO". This work, titled "Voiture Brûlée" (Burnt Car), was created in 2009 and represents the absolute apex of Aubertin's artistic philosophy, which uses fire and destruction as creative and transformative forces. The work and its symbolic power: the piece depicts a scale model of a car subjected to the artist's iconic monochrome fire ritual, meticulously mounted on a panel. The composition is coated with vibrant, visceral red paint, Aubertin's distinctive color, which for the artist represents fire, energy, and spiritual purification. Each burnt car in this limited, iconic series is a unique specimen, standing as a powerful commentary on industrial consumerism, speed, and the destructive beauty of time. Provenance and impeccable certification: this lot is accompanied by an absolute and unassailable authentication. The work is regularly registered and catalogued in the official archive with the archival number VTBR90-1000402323, of which a certificate is attached. The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped with approved couriers. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not offered.
