EXQUISITE CADAVER]. GALA, Valentine HUGO,... - Lot 112 - Pierre Bergé & Associés
EXQUISITE CADAVER]. GALA, Valentine HUGO, André BRETON and Salvador DALÍ. Cadavre exquis. Circa 1930. Two-tone ink drawing with names of participants on verso in Valentine Hugo's hand (272 x 194 mm). Remarkable four-handed "exquisite corpse", executed in the early 1930s by Gala, Valentine Hugo, André Breton and Salvador Dalí: the latter signed it. The names of the authors and the date "circa 1930" have been indicated on the reverse by Valentine Hugo. Fragile, the drawing has been restored and mounted on cardboard. The list of names can only be seen through a mirror image. The drawing has been exhibited several times. Labels on the reverse of the Centre Georges Pompidou (F. Petit collection: only Dalí's name is mentioned) and of the Paris-Barcelona exhibition. Transport label with the name of the gallery 1900/2000. The drawing has been faded in order to be able to examine it. The frame is kept separately.
