André Queffurus (1939-2017) - Sans titre

This 1997 work by André Queffurus is emblematic of his work in the 1990s and his deep, muted palette. It is an oil on canvas with collage, mounted on a wooden stretcher, dated and signed on the reverse. There are slight cracks along the very bottom of the painting, over a 9 cm area (see the last attached photo).
André Queffurus was a French artist, born in Marseille in 1939 and died in Paris in 2017. Among his many exhibitions were those at Galerie Camille Renaut, Galerie Claude Bernard and Galerie Jean Leroy in Paris, followed, also in Paris, by Galerie Flora at Espace Kiron, Galerie Diane Manière and Henry Bussière Art’s, who represented him for several years. Among his major exhibitions were the 1991 exhibition by Galerie Diane Manière at the Découvertes 1991 art fair at the Grand Palais in Paris; the 2002 exhibition at Galerie Gabriela Kriessler in Oberursel, Germany, under the patronage of the Consulate General of France in Frankfurt am Main; the 2007 retrospective organized by Jacques Manière and Christophe Boutang in Paris’s 6th arrondissement; and the 2016 exhibition at Galerie MB-XL Contemporary & Modern in Ixelles, Belgium.
André Queffurus’s works have entered the public collections of the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the French National Collection of Contemporary Art and the Melbourne Museum.
In addition to exhibition catalogs, a book has been devoted to him: “Queffurus, peintures 1985-1990,” published by Éditions du Félin.
The painting offered here was acquired directly from the artist in 1999.
