Provenance : - Paris, Galerie Lucien Durand, 1972. - Acquired from the previous owner by Madame X. - In the descendants of Madame X, by inheritance. Bibliography : Pierre Restany, "César", Editions André Sauret, 1975, reproduced under no. 153 on page 181. Exhibition: Paris 1997, César, Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume (reproduced in the catalog on page 140) This exhibition continued in Malmö, Milan, Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Montevideo for the next two years. It was in 1954 that the young gallery owner Lucien Durand first exhibited César's César's welded iron sculptures. The artist would go on to achieve celebrity status, commercial success and was awarded the "Collabo" prize for "Le Poisson". Next in his artistic evolution artistic development: - Les Compressions, from 1960. Compression of cars salvaged from junkyards and reduced reduced in a hydraulic press. The process was extended to other everyday objects and materials materials such as gold jewelry. - In 1965, Empreintes were made from human body parts, molded and enlarged. - 1968 saw a new innovation: Expansions: The artist pours a viscous liquid a viscous liquid of polyurethane chemical derivatives, which solidifies rapidly and randomly following the artist's gesture. Performed in public, it resembles a happening. - On May 25, 1972, César presented Compressions acryliques at the Galerie Lucien Durand. He He innovates by replacing his traditional metals with plastic sheets. The critic Claude Bouyeure described them in Lettres Françaises on June 21 of the same year: "they give rectangular, translucent blocks, sometimes colored (red or blue), crumpled, more rugged than more uneven than metal compressions. The transparency makes it possible to follow the folds regular hems, spaghetti-like graphics, arabesques drawn by the edges of the sheets. the edges of the leaves. The frozen material gives both a feeling of suppleness and brittleness. brittle. The result is wall panels... With broken, folded corners like those on envelopes for writing paper. The smooth element attracts the light, only to break it up rays get lost in the maze of the material... This compression has the quality of having been acquired by Madame X. from the Galerie Lucien Durand in May-June 1972, at the time of the first public presentation of the plastic compressions. It was photographed, in the gallery owner's presence, in Restany's first monograph. She testifies to Lucien Durand's major role and sagacity, as well as to the original taste of the collector, in whose home it hung until her death in 2023. The work was exhibited in the artist's major international retrospectives. Beyond its historical historical importance, it testifies to César's poetic genius in the use of modern materials and world and its technologies.
