Tis the season for auctions that restarts in the specialty that I am (comic) a sale with almost every weekend: Artcurial , Coutau-Begari , Bank Comic , Millon etc. ... and for the first time Piasa trying to take the train in this specialty is said booming.
What indulge in all budget categories, although I regret the high costs made by the auction houses in addition to the auction (between 20 and 25% overall). In recent years these costs have saddled my desires to purchase "favorite", and I often prefer the transaction between individuals, or from galleries that charge prices reasonable (as Petits Papiers or Maghen ).
Piasa subtly negotiated its entry into the stage to mount a sale dedicated to Hergé , partnering with rights holders ( Moulinsart ex-Fondation Hergé). Beautiful operation that has led some individuals to sell their treasures as marketable directly with authentication Moulinsart, which is paramount.
One of the main treasures of the sale is a beautiful drawing in ink, watercolor and gouache on paper drawing, done in 1947 for his great friend Cnapelinckx Edward, passionate shells. Moulinsart said that so far, this "Tintin and shells" totally unknown was superb all professionals, and absent in all censuses.
The editor of the catalog is lyrical: "The assembly is particularly neat and exudes an atmosphere halfway between dream and reality. Staging the characters featured in the Tintin series, this embodiment accents Surrealists might have been inspired by Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali. As with these two great painters, there are oversize objects, in this case shells, and a natural setting, a sandy beach and a beach surmounted by a sky of intense blue, closer to the symbol of authenticity. "
To report an unusual detail in achieving : the light shadows worn behind the characters, a fantasy in total contradiction with the style of "Clear Line" which Herge was the most famous representative.
