Figure Inconnue & Chic

Coming soon

Archive note

A promotional poster for a sculptural object—a porcelain figurine of an androgynous character in theatrical dress, rendered in pastel colorway and mid-century decorative style. The figure wears a yellow doublet, mint-green cape, and pink boots, striking a confident pose atop a pedestal. The French subtitle 'Barranquilla en Pastel' suggests a fictional designer collection or limited edition series. Collectors of obscure design ephemera and camp vernacular aesthetics will recognize the deliberate kitsch and subversive gender-play embedded in this lost product advertisement.

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.
