Charles AUFFRET (1929-2001) - Lot 164
Charles AUFFRET (1929-2001) Femme à la toilette, second version, circa 1990 Bronze proof, n°1/8. Bodin lost-wax casting. Foundry stamp (on the edge of the terrace). Signed and numbered (on the terrace): CH. AUFFRET. 55 x 36 x 22 cm PROVENANCE: artist's studio La Femme à la toilette marks the beginning of Charles Auffret's career and reveals him to the public. It already displays all the characteristics of his style: an "impressionist" sculpture with a very tender view of women. With this work, Charles Auffret was awarded the Prix Godard in 1964. The jury, made up of independent sculptors known as the Groupe des Neuf, rewarded him with a bronze cast of his sculpture. At the end of his life, Charles Auffret enlarged his Femme à la toilette and reworked it into a second version, 56 cm high. Compared to the 1964 work, this second version reflects a search for simplification (the openings under the shoulder and at the raised foot have been closed).
