These "Selected Works" by the auction house also include a splendid bronze sculpture by Henri Laurens, Le Ruban, acquired from the Galerie Louise Leiris and coming from a collection in the Luberon. When we turn around this work created in 1937, we understand the metaphorical content of the sculpture: The Ribbon represents the activity of the creative force of nature, which serves as a model for man. Hesitant, still growing, germinating shapes start to move. The work is estimated at 25,000 / 30,000 €.
Henri LAURENS
