AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This auction features an inverted gold bas-relief, inspired by the iconic façade relief that has graced the entrance of the world-famous Folies Bergère revue theater in Paris since 1925. This impressive, meter-tall Art Deco artwork was designed by the renowned French architect and interior designer Maurice Picaud, also known as Pico (1900-1977). Picaud's masterpiece celebrates the essence of the Art Deco movement and captures the lush, exotic atmosphere of Parisian nightlife in the 1920s.
The artwork, titled 'Serpentine Dancer', depicts the famous dancer Lila Nikolska in her graceful movements. The abstract swirls and forms surrounding her amplify the dynamism and energy of her dance, giving the piece a timeless appeal. The Folies Bergère revue theater, founded in 1869 as a music hall, enjoyed its heyday from the 1890s until World War II. This iconic theater is still in operation and has a rich history.
The artwork offered in this auction is a unique piece from the 'Inverted Collection' of Atelier Laurier Design. This piece deviates from Maurice Picaud's original Folies Bergère relief because it is rendered in negative, not positive, form. This means the relief is hollowed out on the front, resulting in a slight bulge at the back. Furthermore, this inverted interpretation distinguishes itself by the dancing woman not kicking to the right, as in the original, but to the left. The artwork is in excellent condition and will be carefully packed for shipment, including insurance against loss or damage during transport.
Dimensions: 48 x 50 x 3 cm
Material: porcelain plaster with terracotta pigments
Weight: 5 kilograms
* In a separate Catawiki auction, we also offer a Folies Bergère relief that points in the opposite direction. Bid in both auctions to secure this distinctive and decorative Folies set. The last photo in this auction provides an impression of the complete wall display. When purchasing items from both auctions, you pay only one set of shipping costs.
