GERMAINE RICHIER - Lot 176
GERMAINE RICHIER "La Vierge Folle," bronze sculpture at the Picasso Museum in Antibes, 1950s. Photo by Marianne Greenwood, vintage silver print, stamped (including the photographer's stamp) and annotated on the back. 29 x 22 cm. Note: This photograph, taken in the 1950s by Marianne Greenwood, depicts *La Vierge Folle*, one of Germaine Richier’s most famous sculptures, housed at the Picasso Museum in Antibes. A major figure in postwar French sculpture, Germaine Richier developed a profoundly original body of work, situated between figuration and abstraction, in which human forms seem to transform under the influence of organic and telluric forces. Created against the backdrop of the revival of European sculpture after World War II, *La Vierge Folle* illustrates the expressive power and spiritual dimension that characterize her work. Produced by Marianne Greenwood, a photographer closely associated with many artists on the French art scene, this print serves as a valuable record of the work’s reception and museum presentation at a time when Germaine Richier was establishing herself as one of the most important figures in modern sculpture. Signs of handling, particularly the slightly cut upper edge.
