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" (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 the 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 commentary on industrial consumerism, speed and the destructive beauty of time. Provenance and impeccable certification: this lot is accompanied by absolute and incontrovertible authentication. The work is regularly registered and cataloged in the official archive with the storage number VTBR90-1000402323, with a certificate attached.
The lot will be carefully packed and shipped with insured couriers. For this lot, shipping outside the European Community is not performed.
