Post lot text

Figure majeure de l’art d’après-guerre en Californie, Wallace Berman est considéré comme l’un des fondateurs de l’assemblage. Connu pour son utilisation du Verifax, précurseur du photocopieur, afin de réaliser ses assemblages et ses collages photographiques, Berman a marqué la scène artistique américaine contemporaine de changements sociaux et sociétaux majeurs durant la seconde moitié du 20ème siècle. Il a notamment été exposé en 2006 et 2008 au Centre Pompidou, ainsi qu’en 2004 au Bronx Museum of Arts et au Whitney Museum of American Art. Ses œuvres sont aujourd’hui présentes dans les collections du Museum of Contemporary Art de Los Angeles ou encore dans les collections du Norton Simon Museum en Californie.

‌A major figure of post-war art in California, Wallace Berman is considered one of the founders of assemblage. Known for his use of the Verifax — precursor of the photocopier ­— to produce his assemblages and photographic collages, Berman left his mark on the American art scene, contemporary with major social and societal changes during the second half of the 20th century. His work was exhibited in 2006 and 2008 at the Centre Pompidou, and in 2004 at the Bronx Museum of Arts and the Whitney Museum of American Art. His work is currently in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Norton Simon Museum in California.
