# Françoise PETROVITCH (born 1964). "Sans-titre" 2017. Ink wash on paper signed and dated in pencil lower right (very slight thinning lower right and soiling). Height : 176 cm - Width : 137 cm Provenance : - bought in 2018 at Galerie Semiose, Paris ; - private collection, Paris. Note: French visual artist Françoise Pétrovitch uses a wide range of techniques, including ceramics, glass, washes, painting, video and jewelry. Drawing, however, holds a special place in her work. The composition here focuses on the monumental sunflower, the subject of a magnified nature. This portrait is part of a series tracing the different moments in the flower's life - open, closed, wilted - a reference to the themes of transition, life and death often addressed in his work. As part of her participation in the "Dialogues inattendus" exhibition at the Musée Marmottan from April 9 to September 14, 2025, the artist reactivated this series in 2024, entitled "Soleil", in a bid to confront Berthe Morisot's "Roses trémières", the sunflower being particularly graphic and contrasting in color. All bids will include VAT. VAT at 5.5% recoverable on the hammer price and costs for taxable buyers and in the case of export outside the EC.
