Mon-Fri 9am-6pm
Artist: Jean Fautrier
Christie’s presents ‘L’Enragé : Hommage à Jean Fautrier’, a selling exhibition to mark the publication of the catalogue raisonné of the artist Jean Fautrier (1898-1964), directed by Marie-José Lefort with the support of Christie’s.
With a selection of important works coming from private collections - many of which have not been exhibited publicly for decades - the exhibition will explore the painter's entire oeuvre, from the figurative paintings of the 1920s to the informal works of the post-war years. It will show the evolution of an artist who was close to some of the greatest intellectual figures of the last century, from Jean Paulhan (who devoted a book to the artist, Fautrier l'Enragé, Blaizot 1949, from which the exhibition takes its name) to Francis Ponge, and from René Char to André Malraux.
