Description from the seller
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, entitled "Voiture Brûlée" (Burned 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 piece and its symbolic power: the work depicts a scale-model car subjected to the artist's iconic monochrome fire ritual, meticulously mounted on a panel. The composition is coated with vibrant and visceral red paint, Aubertin's distinctive color, which for the artist represents fire, energy, and spiritual purification. Each burned car in this limited and iconic series is a unique specimen, standing as a powerful comment on industrial consumerism, speed, and the destructive beauty of time. Provenance and impeccable certification: this lot is accompanied by absolute and irrefutable authentication. The work is regularly registered and cataloged in the official archive with the storage number VTBR90-1000402323, of which a certificate is attached.
The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped with contracted courier services. For this lot, no shipments outside the European Community are made.
