Lot Essay

Samy Kinge has confirmed the authenticity of this work.

"Shapes or forms will, each, find its own mate, and will introduce themselves to the tiniest fraction of time—that brow which, nothing could possibly exist without disappearing forever, that is, the kind of time wherein forms or space even, become alive."
(V. Brauner in exh. cat., Victor Brauner, Paris, 1972, p. 108).
