AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bernard Aubertin
Burned telephone
Extremely rare work, archived and catalogued as per photo.
Hand-signed by the artist on the back
Dimensions of the display case 35 x 45 x 10 cm.
In excellent condition.
For true collectors.
The artifact is regularly registered and catalogued at the official archive of the artist,
the document will be attached to the work.
Shipped with express courier, professionally packed.
Created in 2010, belonging to the micro-series of experiments with mobile phones a body of works almost unknown and produced in very limited quantities 8/10 at most, he used his personal phones.
Aubertin uses a first-generation Nokia phone, subjected to controlled combustion: the fused surfaces, the deformations of the material and the traces of fire become visual and sculptural elements, perfectly aligned with the artist's distinctive language.
The phone is mounted on a dark red background, an iconic color in Aubertin's practice, and enclosed in a black display case that emphasizes its three-dimensional presence. The work measures 45 × 35 cm and is ready to be exhibited.
These experiments with phones are almost impossible to find: Aubertin created only a few specimens, making this piece one of the most sought-after works among ZERO movement collectors and art enthusiasts of combustion art.
A unique work, museum-quality — ideal as an investment and a notable addition to any contemporary art collection.
