Charles Auffret (1929-2001) - Lot 223
Charles Auffret (1929-2001) Enlarged study for a project by Richard Peduzzi for the Jardins de l'Europe at Futuroscope 1992-1993 Plaster (removable arms) 163 x 112 x 50 cm The only remaining testimony to this unfinished project. After immersing himself in Burgundian sculpture while studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, Charles Auffret joined the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1947. There, he studied with Alfred Jeanniot and Marcel Gimond. In 1958, he set up his studio in the Buttes-Chaumont district and discovered the work of Charles Despiau, Robert Wlérick and Charles Malfray. In 1964, he was awarded the Prix du Groupe des Neuf. Following in the footsteps of the Schnegg Gang half a century earlier, the Groupe des Neuf was formed in 1963. Jean Carton, Raymond Martin, Marcel Damboise, Paul Cornet, Raymond Corbin, Léon Indenbaum, Léopold Kretz, Gunnar Nilsson and Jean Osouf, heirs to Wlérick, Despiau, Malfray and Gimond, united around a common conception of sculpture, reaffirming their direct affiliation with so-called "independent" sculpture. The following year, winner of the Paul Ricard Foundation's International Sculpture Prize, Charles Auffret was invited to take up residence on the Ile de Bendor with his sculptor wife Arlette Ginioux. There, he erected a monumental sculpture known as L'Éveil, one of his major works. He took part in numerous exhibitions in France and abroad, and taught drawing at the Malebranche academy and the Beaux-Arts de Reims before being appointed professor at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. After his death, several retrospectives paid tribute to his work: the Musée Mainssieux in Voiron, the Villa Médicis in Rome and the Musée Despiau-Wlérick in Mont-de-Marsan (for further information: www.charlesauffret.com).
