Carola Castro (XX) - Léger x Valdés

- Oil on canvas. Signed and titled on the back.

- Acquired directly from the artist's studio in June 2021.

- Carola Castro is an artist based in Madrid whose painting arises from the dialogue between tradition and contemporaneity. Her language begins with a fascination for art history and for artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Manolo Valdés and Miró, but she does not seek to reproduce them; she reinterpret their codes from a personal perspective. One of the elements that defines her work is the use of antique frames. For Carola Castro, the frame is not a secondary element; it is part of the work. As the artist herself puts it, “I’m interested in a work that seems to have lived a life before arriving with us.”

- Image dimensions without frame: 81 x 81 cm / 85 x 85 cm with frame.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued 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 each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and confidence in every acquisition, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate attests that the purchased work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes complete details about the piece, such as its author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon request by the client, providing an official reference for the purchased piece.

As experts in the logistics of artworks, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the entire process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances. These include variations in transport market rates, changes in the delivery location, the size and weight of the work, as well as possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailoring to the needs of each client and ensuring that the work arrives at 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 additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be exhibited immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be accepted as a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.
