About the Item
Marcel Cerdan, a French boxer, is one of the few to have dethroned, thanks to his fearsome right hook, the Americans who have held the world title of "English middleweight boxing" since 1897!
Born in 1916, he died in 1949, at the age of 33, in a plane crash.
The enamels show traces of red: blood often stains the boxers' faces. The blue-grey effects symbolise the clouds, reminding us that Marcel Cerdan lost his life in a plane. Edith Piaf wanted him to reach her more quickly than by liner, after his fight in the United States...
The title "crochet du droit" pays tribute to his famous right hook. Redoubtable at home, it enabled him to win his world middleweight title against American Tony Zale, known as the "King of the KO", in 1948.
Born in 1960 in Lille, France, Anne Millot is a self-taught artist. After attending evening classes to satisfy her need for creation while she lived in Paris and later Brittany, she decides in 2010 to truly dedicate herself to art and settles in Paris. She then opens her Parisian workshop and takes training courses in ceramics and enamel techniques. At first she sculpts faces, however she gradually takes an interest in the nose and all of its dimensions, such as its sexual symbolism, its olfactory utility or the character and expressions it conveys. Focusing on the nose as the centre of her work, Anne Millot isolates it from the rest of the face in order to show it exclusively. She draws her inspiration from a variety of subjects, from cinema stars to mythological creatures as well as perfumers (also known as « noses »). Anne Millot makes every sculpture - earthenware, stoneware and porcelain - in her workshop where she also creates her own enamels. Thanks to a technical and detailed association of forms, brightness and colors, she conveys a precise and humoristic retranscription of the harmony and personality of the noses she draws her inspiration from.

Darth Vader - Bronze Sculpture - Unique Piece
By Alain BELLINO
Located in Miami, FL
I was born in Nice in 1955. In the 80’s, I discovered the world of metal and ornamentation in my father’s workshop where I learnt gold and silver plating and bronze restoration.
After many years of practice and technical research dedicated to rehabilitating and re-composing objects, I engaged in an artistic way around 2010. The ornament that is torn from its original support then becomes the very structure of my sculptures.
Bronze ornamentations assembled by extremely precise welding are the base material. Weighted with the nobility of the material joined to their own history, they support a fragmented memory and they bring me a precious help as well as a constraint.
I got special inspiration from the Renaissance period. Vanitas are one of my favourite themes, typical of classical sceneries...
