AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Signed.

- This mid-20th-century still life is a masterful exercise in the aesthetics of minimalism, where formal restraint and sober composition rise to a spiritual category. In postwar Spain, many artists embraced this economy of means, turning away from decorative excess to seek the essence of things in the everyday.

- Image dimensions without frame: 70 x 58 cm / 82 x 70 cm with exclusive custom frame.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original, and irreproducible. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique—qualities that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the foundation of our commitment to excellence, and thus every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. To acquire a work from Montbaron Gallery is to own an unreproducible piece, an investment in creativity and talent that over time will preserve both its artistic and emotional value. We are proud to offer works that not only beautify spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through the most authentic art. Thus, we guarantee that every work leaving our gallery is a unique piece in the world, with no replica, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Some lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit granted by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the artwork’s authenticity and its free circulation at an international level.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and irreproducible artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and confidence in every acquisition, we offer a digital Warranty Certificate, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and condition. The Warranty Certificate includes complete details about the piece, such as its author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Warranty Certificate will be issued upon customer request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece. This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing.

We are committed to the satisfaction and confidence of our clients, so any questions about the authenticity or condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Warranty Certificate, please contact us through our usual channels.

As art logistics experts, at Montbaron Gallery we are dedicated to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transportation, who guarantee the utmost care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices shown in the listing are indicative and subject to change depending on various circumstances. These include variations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailoring to each client’s needs and ensuring that the artwork reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, and therefore is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be exhibited immediately on your wall. Accordingly, no frame damages will be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
