Sometimes the small format overthrows the monumental, as with Iris Clert’s Micro-Salons in her gallery on rue des Beaux-Arts from 1957 or Max Ernst’s travel kit for the trip from Sedona where he settled with his partner Dorothea Tanning or the various exhibitions curated by Ernst Beyeler in Basel.
This is the dream of the nomadic collector, for whom the poster comes off the walls of the hotel room and becomes a small portable painting.
The miniature becomes your travel essential, a cherished portrait that you never have to be without. The size zero figure, the one figure, “portable painting”, shows all its power under the bar of 24 x 18 cm.Piccolo ma molto potente,, size doesn’t matter: 40cm for the largest ones.
Klein aber Oho ?
Petit mais puissant.
