AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A special original etching by Pierre Alechinsky, executed on high-quality handmade paper.

Lower right hand-signed in pencil.
Lower left numbered.

About the work:
The motif originated in 1950 and thus belongs to Alechinsky’s early body of work. In 1979 the etching was reissued for the exclusive portfolio “Les Ateliers du Marais.” The portfolio comprises five graphic works that draw on Alechinsky’s earlier pieces and his original artistic visual language.

Literature:
Yves Rivière – Pierre Alechinsky – Les estampes de 1946 à 1972, Paris 1973, Catalogue Raisonné No. 70.

Framing:
The work was professionally and high-quality framed in a handmade black wooden frame with Plexiglas Optical HC.
Frame size: approximately 51 × 38 cm.

About the artist:
Pierre Alechinsky (born 1927) is a prominent Belgian painter and graphic artist and is among the most important representatives of the CoBrA group. His unmistakable visual language combines gestural abstraction with influences from East Asian calligraphy and a spontaneous, free line work.

His works are part of major international museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. With his extensive oeuvre of painting, drawing, printmaking, and literature, Alechinsky is one of the influential European artists of postwar art.
