About the Item
Pedestal table with surrealist shapes.
Composed by a bronze leg with a surrealist ornamentation mounted by a white marble circular plate.
Model signed and numbered.
Limited edition of 8 + 4 AP of a model created in the 1970's by the sculptor Victor Roman.
Victor Roman was born in 1937 in Martinis in Romania. In 1950, he leaves his village to to go high-school in Tirgu-Mures. He then studies at the Fine Arts Institute Nicolae Grigorescu of Bucharest. He meets his first success with a personal exhibition in 1962. The next year, he receives the Sculpture prize of the Artists Union of Romania. He then settles in Paris in 1968 with only 170 Francs in his pocket and the luxury edition of Brave Soldat Svejk by Hasek. In Marc Gaillard's book, Victor Roman compares himself to this fictional soldier, resembling an ingenuous character of Voltaire. Roman's sculpture stands at the crossroad of countryside influences and Romanian culture, and yet it manages to take us to a dreamlike world. Sculpting clay to begin with, the original matter, Roman then starts working with bronze. Bronze enables his terra cottas to become resistant to space: “The earth represents living matter, as if I were touching skin. When a piece is translated into bronze, finished with my own hands, I touch it as if it were clay, it is still skin, but maybe more noble, stronger and which may breathe even ore life.” The mirror of cast bronze presented at the Biennale des Antiquaires shows the work of this enigmatic artist-craftsman. This sculpture-object with surrealist shapes brings to mind an imaginary world originating in archaic forms from Victor Roman's childhood in Transylvania. Victor Roman takes part in many major projects in France. He is honored in 1974 with the Concours prize for a public order piece for the city of Bobigny. He creates monumental pieces for several French cities such as Créteil, Villiers-le-Bel, Noisy-le-Sec or Guyancourt. This sculptor left us many works and made a mark on the art history of the 60's till the 90's. This creator of unique forms is now one of the most renowned sculptors. Victor Roman passed away on April 12th 1995.

Meret Oppenheim
Meret Oppenheim -Traccia Table - The person and the works of German-Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) are forever associated with surrealism and 20th century art history.
Meret Oppenheim, in full Meret Elisabeth Oppenheim, (born October 6, 1913, Berlin, Germany—died November 15, 1985, Basel, Switzerland), German-born Swiss artist whose fur-covered teacup, saucer, and spoon became an emblem of the Surrealist movement. The piece, created when Oppenheim was just 23 years old, became so famous that it overshadowed the rest of her career.
Oppenheim’s father was German and Jewish and her mother was Swiss. In 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, the family moved from Germany to Switzerland. Oppenheim was encouraged by her father and by her maternal grandmother, author and illustrator Lisa Wenger-Ruutz, to pursue art. Thus, in 1929 she began art studies at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel (through 1930). She then moved to Paris and briefly attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in 1932.
Being in Paris offered Oppenheim the opportunity to connect with leading avant-garde artists, which, more than schooling, gave her entrée into the art world. In 1933 she met Alberto Giacometti, Man Ray, André Breton, and Jean (Hans) Arp. Oppenheim was quickly absorbed into the Surrealist circle and exhibited three paintings at the Salon des Surindépendants in Paris in 1933. Soon after meeting Man Ray, she became his muse and modeled for images such as Érotique Voilée (1933; “Erotic Veiled”), in which she appeared nude behind...
