1928 - 1999
FOLLE ET BOUQUET
signé Bernard Buffet et daté 70 (vers le haut au centre); numéroté AA32 (au dos)
huile sur toile
97,2 x 129,8 cm; 38¼ x 51⅛ in.
Peint en 1970.
L'authenticité de cette œuvre a été confirmée par la Galerie Maurice Garnier.
Condition Report:
It has not been possible to see the work entirely unframed. The canvas is not lined. There is a milky and uneven varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light appears to reveal no evidence of retouching. There is some minor paint shrinkage, most predominately to the blue and black pigments. There is a paint loss to the thickly applied black pigment (approx. 13 cm from the right edge and 34 cm from the lower edge), a tiny further paint loss approx. 20 cm from the upper edge and approx. 55 from the left edge and an additional paint loss with a residue of canvas (approx. 30 cm from the lower edge and approx. 49 cm from the right edge). There is a possible paint loss to the extreme lower right corner. Varnish appears to have slightly yellowed. Impasto is extremely rich and well preserved. This work is in overall very good condition.
