This Bernard Aubertin work from 1974 is considered one of the most sought-after because it belongs to the rarest and most coveted historical period of his work: the 1960s and 1970s.

Why are the works of the 1960s–1970s the rarest and most precious?
Zero Period
Works created between the late 1950s and the 1970s are directly linked to the ZERO movement, the most important moment of his career.

Original techniques
In these years Aubertin developed his most iconic series:
Allumettes, Clous, Monocromi Rossi, Dessin de feu.

Rarity
Production was limited, often experimental, and many works are today in private collections or museums.
For this reason, works created between 1960–1975 are more difficult to find on the market.
