View translationJean Pierre Serrier (1934-1989) - Figures on a beach
No. 85065671
I am offering for auction a surrealist 20th century original oil on canvas depicting figures on a beach with two girls in the foreground, one with dove on her head, holding an empty bird cage.
Painted by renowned listed French artist Jean Pierre Serrier, 1934-1989. Signed and dated 1967 bottom right.
The painting measures 63 x 52 cm. The frame is 67 x 56 cm.
Condition of the paintings is good. Please view all pics for accurate condition. Couple of tiny marks. Slight wear to frame. Ready to hang.
Description:
Jean-Pierre Serrier was born in Montparnasse and attended the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He had his first exhibition in 1955, before being sent to Algeria to complete his military service. In 1961, Serrier made his first visit to the United States to exhibit at a New York gallery. In 1975 and 1979, he had successful exhibitions in New Orleans in conjunction with Kurt Schon Gallery, and his work was included in art and news magazines, including Time and Newsweek. One of the last French Surrealists, Serrier evoked themes of humanity and mortality through the lens of the teachings of Nietzsche and Freud, as seen in the large-scale and haunting painting offered here. He was a member of the Autumn Salon and in 1976 was elected a jury member. He exhibited widely during his lifetime, including in London, Paris, Geneva, and Brussels, and posthumous retrospectives of his work took place in both New York and New Orleans.
Please note. Due to the fragile nature of old frames and glass, our shippers do not provide insurance for any damage caused during transit. We go to great lengths to ensure each painting is packed and protected to a very high standard but sadly cannot compensate or refund for any damage occurring to frames or glass during transit. Therefore the frame and any glass is a gift to you with zero value and you are bidding on the artwork only.
Due to Brexit, there are delays at EU customs borders though the situation is improving. Please do not blame me for delays or any customs duty payable. I really appreciate your understanding and patience. Steve.

View translationThank you! The item came with quite a delay, and a big fuss but none of your fault, just customs issues. Unfortunately, that will make me think twice before buying anything else from UK, after Brexit.
