Irene JONAS (1957) - Lot 124

Irene JONAS (1957) EAST #5, 2022 Silver print 2022 enhanced with oil paint, signed and numbered 1/1 on the back. Image: 28.5 x 43 cm; sheet: 30 x 45 cm Note: Contemporary photographic work by Irène Jonas, an artist whose work explores a poetic, melancholy aesthetic, where photography is in close dialogue with painting. The À l'Est series is a reflection on memory, time and interior landscapes. The silver print, enriched by a pictorial intervention in oil paint, gives the image a hybrid dimension, on the borderline between photography and painting, reinforcing its plastic singularity. The uniqueness of the work, attested by the 1/1 numbering and the signature on the back, is a determining factor in its authenticity and value on the contemporary art market.
