Bernard Aubertin (1934-2015) - Affiche brûlée - Marilyn

Bernard Aubertin (1934-2015) - Affiche brûlée - Marilyn

Original work by Bernard Aubertin, artist associated with the ZERO movement, belonging to the Affiches brûlées series, in which fire intervenes on the printed image, transforming its surface. Title: Marilyn – Affiche brûlée Year: 2010 Technique: burns on paper poster Dimensions: 66 × 96 cm Edition: unique Signature: hand-signed and dated by the artist Provenance: private collection Authenticity: work archived and accompanied by the certificate from the Archivio Opere Bernard Aubertin of Brescia, Rovetta family. The famous portrait of Marilyn Monroe is traversed by combustion interventions that create irregular openings, burnt edges and halos on the paper. The contrast between the black-and-white photograph and the traces of fire makes each intervention an integral part of the composition, expressing the artist's exploration of the transformation of matter and image. The work is presented in a new, matte white wooden frame, with 3 mm unbreakable plexiglass protection, light and impact-resistant: an ideal solution to protect the work and facilitate safe shipping. Work in good conservation condition, as documented by photographs. The burn marks and openings in the paper constitute original elements of the artistic intervention. Shipment with careful professional packaging, insured and trackable.
