Franck Duminil abstract mixed media on aluminum in shades of copper; measures approximately 10" x 8-1/2" with wooden backing and has an aluminum sight image of approximately 9-1/2" x 7-3/4". Signed to lower right & artist name & title inscribed to verso on frame. After a Parisian childhood interspersed with family travel, Franck Duminil entered the School of Fine Arts of Bordeaux where he studied architecture in the Ferr_ workshop before following the course of Jean Prouv_ at the Conservatoire National des Arts et M_tiers in Paris. In 1959, he left for twenty-eight months of military service in Germany and then in Algeria. From 1962-1967, he worked as a draftsman in various architectural firms in Paris (Louis Arretche, Max Tournier), painting and participating in various group exhibitions simultaneously. His improvised geometrism, where the impression of incisive coolness is supported by the dominant blacks and greys, makes his style very "metallic". Franck Duminil settled permanently in the Montmartre district in 1983.
Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.
