ICONIC GENUINE 1930 GESSO BAS RELIEF ART DECO LADY. LIFE SIZE.
Iconic art deco gesso / plaster, gilded with metal rods ornaments large life size stylized lady sculpture.
Excellent condition with few ships and cracks due to age.
The bas relief is strong despite its large size, thanks to a wood frame structure inside plaster.
Signed on lower part in the plaster. (E. PER and perhaps another letter ?)
Circa 1930. Wood lacquered base is not original to the sculpture.
H : 171cm W : 30cm Thikness 7cm
A similar sculpture was auctioned at sothebys auction house 11 march 2014.
Sothebys sculpture was a part of a pair, wood carved and displayed on doors.
Auction result was more than 100.000 eur for pair !!!
As the Sothebys sculptures were unsigned, the one I propose here is signed.
My opinion is that the first to exist was the gesso one that was used as model by wood carver.
Provenance : Paris appartement.
