\"StoreIn January 1967 Evelyne Axell had her first solo exhibition at the prestigious Palais des Beaux-Arts (today BoZar) in Brussels. A very short exhibition that lasted for less than two weeks but revealed the extraordinary diversity of her work, mixing oil on canvas, collages and assemblages, including the famous work \u201cValentine\u201d now part of Tate Modern\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n

Amongst the works presented at this exhibition, the theme of \u201cErotomobiles\u201d was clearly the main feature with a number of works evoking the car such as \u201cCeinture de s\u00e9curit\u00e9\u201d (safety belt), \u201cCl\u00e9 de contact\u201d (ignition key) and even a large canvas with a real tire painted in fluorescent pink.<\/p>\n

However three recent works with a different aesthetic approach were also on display.  A color stripes background would be painted on canvas  using oil paint while a silhouette would be cut out from rough (untreated) canvas, colorized with spray car paint and glued on the background. Two of them had vertical stripes \u2013 \u201cChampionnes 1 & 2\u201d \u2013 and one horizontal stripes; \u201cStore v\u00e9nitien\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cStore v\u00e9nitien\u201d was spotted and acquired by Bernard Giron, the son of Robert Giron who presided the Exhibition society of BoZar for four decades and allowed this first solo exhibition.<\/p>\n

\"AffichePerfectly capturing Evelyne Axell’s unique aesthetic and important contribution to 1960s art-history, \u201cStore v\u00e9nitien\u201d is undoubtedly a masterpiece from her early oeuvre.<\/p>\n

It is now being proposed at the prestigious auction house Sotheby\u2019s for the fourth edition of Contemporary Curated in London, which brings together a diverse range of post-war and contemporary artist, guest-curated by Tank Magazine\u2019s Fashion Director and CEO Caroline Issa, and features on the cover of the sale\u2019s catalogue.<\/p>\n
