Catalogue Note
Georges Boulogne (1926-1992) spent his life expressing in plaster the research of the Renaissance’s masters on perspective. His works, executed in the round or in bas-relief are full of references to surrealism. He was close to Dali, whose portrait he realised.
This lot is sold with a certificate from the Alberto and Annette Giacometti Foundation
