L'Icône Cachée: The Silent Porcelain

Coming soon

Archive note

A 1952 Paris exhibition poster for a lost sculptural installation—a life-size porcelain figure draped in silk, head faceless and tilted, holding a cluster of delicate flowers. The archive notes indicate the work was destroyed during a gallery flood in 1954, leaving only this photograph and the poster as evidence of its existence. Speaks to collectors of lost European modernist sculpture and mid-century design mythology.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
