AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- Oil, matter and sand on canvas. Original canvas. Signed and dated by hand.

- This abstract work by Francesc Bort, dated 1990, constitutes an ambitious attempt to condense the immensity of the cosmos into a refined visual syntax, an encyclopedic aspiration that resonates with the monumentality of Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony. Through rigorous reductionism, Bort articulates a personal cosmology using a lexicon of fundamental symbolic beings. The viewer is invited to journey from the “alpha” (A) to the “omega” (Z), an alphabetical arc that embraces the beginning and the end of all things, framing a dense interweaving of primary geometric forms and a vibrant color palette. Each square, triangle, and circle, as well as every hue, does not function as mere ornamentation, but as a semantic atom that encodes universal concepts—structure, energy, matter, time—integrating them into a unique composition that aspires to contain, on its finite surface, the infinite complexity of the universe.

- Provenance: Acquired at Galería Micó Vilar, Valencia, 1990.

- Image dimensions without frame: 90 x 90 cm / 94 x 94 cm with exclusive custom aluminum frame.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original, and irreproducible. Each piece in our gallery results from deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique—characteristics 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 basis of our commitment to excellence, and therefore every painting or sculpture in our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an unreproducible piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will retain 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 unique piece in the world, with no replicas, and a reflection of the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Some lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although it is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, irreproducible artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each 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.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are dedicated to ensuring that every piece arrives at its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To achieve this, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee the utmost care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices shown in the listing are indicative and subject to change depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in the delivery location, the size and weight of the work, as well as possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs.

Our aim is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring the artwork arrives at its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the artwork by a third party or by the seller, and is not an integral part of the object. It is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at the buyer’s home, it can be displayed immediately on the wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be accepted as a valid reason to file a claim or request a cancellation.
