Marcel Anselme (1925-1982) - Das Angebot

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Hand-signed.

- The vanitas in Anselme’s hand sheds its old theater of skulls and clepsydras to take refuge in the gravity of the everyday, where finitude does not shout but gravitates. In that “vibrant sobriety,” time is not a vertiginous escape into nothingness, but a sedimentation of being upon the rough skin of a fruit or the silent weight of a bird; it is the density of matter asserting itself against the void in a final, luminous act of resistance. Here, domestic introspection transfigures the still life into an altar of the ephemeral, where each object, in its pastoral stillness, confesses that true transcendence does not reside in marble pomp, but in the sacred and heavy beauty of what, knowing itself mortal, dares to inhabit light for just a moment longer.

- Image dimensions without frame: 60 x 73 cm / 75 x 88 cm with exclusive tailor-made frame.

In Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all unique, original, and unrepeatable. 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 therefore every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an irrepeatable piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will retain 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 that leaves our gallery is a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Certain 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 authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of every piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, 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 Certificate of Guarantee includes full details about the piece, such as author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the purchased piece. This document will be sent in digital format and signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and backing.

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

As experts in art logistics, Montbaron Gallery is dedicated to ensuring that every piece arrives at 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 maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping costs shown in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the artwork, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping price will be calculated precisely based on these factors and will always be communicated to the client beforehand before shipping. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailoring to each client’s needs and ensuring 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 extra cost so that, when the work arrives at the buyer’s home, it can be displayed immediately on their wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the artwork’s integrity will not be valid grounds for opening a claim or requesting a cancellation.
