Composition typographique et papiers anciens, a collage on panel by Bergen (1954), France, from the 1990–2000 period.
Description from the seller
We present you with this original and mixed-media collage on panel (or canvas), an abstract composition incorporating old papers, stamps, envelopes and typographic elements signed by the artist Bergen at the bottom right.
The work consists of a rhythmic juxtaposition of old documents (Rambouillet envelope, stamp of the Mexican Republic, receipts from 1919) and typographic prints playing with the slogan “serious as the PLEASURE.” The artist deftly combines material, the memory of archival papers, and contemporary graphics on a textured cream-white background.

Note on the artist Bergen:
Bergen is a contemporary artist known for his collage and mixed-media compositions that evoke the memory of old papers, archival documents, posters, and typographic characters. In line with poster designers and modern collage artists, his work plays with textures, the assembly of fragments of history, and the poetry of words to create balanced and singular graphic works.
