Height 150 cm - Width : 170 cm (accident on the frame) Provenance : - public auction sale on October 9, 2015 at Maître Morand in Paris ; - private collection, Paris. Note: Jacques Pasquier's work is defined by an ambivalence between figuration and abstraction, memory and instant. Figures are sketched and facial features blurred. Between 1969 and 1973, he worked on a series entitled "L'architecture", the period from which our work is taken, in which the figures evolve in spaces that seem to frame the subject. Some of his works are held in public collections, notably at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nantes and BNF. All bids will include VAT. VAT at 5.5% recoverable on the hammer price and costs for taxable buyers and in the case of exports outside the EC.
