Auction 28 June 2024 Modern & contemporary art from North Africa - Paris

Bid on the lot list Millon : 28 June 2024 - Arts moderne et contemporain d'Afrique du Nord Fort de l'intérêt croissant pour l'art moderne et contemporain au Maghreb, cette vente met à l'honneur les puissantes voix artistiques d'Afrique du Nord. Parmi elles, Hassan el Glaoui (Maroc, 1923 - 2018), pionnier de la peinture moderne marocaine célébré pour son traitement du cheval. Jilani Abdelwaheb (Tunisie, 1889-1961), dit Abdul, qui était en étroit lien avec les modernités occidentales et l’École de Paris, ou autrement, Nja Mahdaoui (Tunisie, né en 1937), artiste passionné par toutes les disciplines du signe, comme Rachid Koraïchi (Algérie, né en 1947) qui explore ce sujet avec son édition des Stèles des 7 dormants. Toujours en Algérie, Abdelkader Guermaz (Algérie, 1919-1996 ) fondateur de la peinture algérienne moderne, ou encore M'hamed Issiakhem (Algérie, 1928-1985) et Baya (Algérie, 1931-1998) viennent enrichir cette vente.Enfin, vous trouverez un chapitre dédié à la relève contemporaine avec des noms encore peu connus, tels que Aicha Haddad Kaouther, artiste peintre et plasticienne accomplie, Kaouther Bahri Dargouth et Hocine Ziani dont les travaux sont riches dans le traitement de la lumière ; ou Jeronimo Muniz pour ses paysages tumultueux. De nombreux autres artistes modernes et contemporains sont à retrouver au sein de cette vente.
