Peter KLASEN (1935)

Eduardo Arroyo Eduardo ARROYO (1937-2018) died on 14 October at the age of 81. A journalist and a writer, he also applied his talents to engraving, sculpture, set design and, above all, painting. After exiling himself from Franco’s Spain in 1958, he settled in Paris where he became a major representative of the Narrative Figuration […]

The French art movement known as Narrative Figuration was officially born in 1965. Both museums and auctioneers are planning to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.

Friday Top! Every alternate Friday Artprice publishes a theme-based auction ranking. This week: the ten highest bids for the works of living French artists.

After the Art Paris contemporary art fair (from 3 to 7 April), the Grand Palais will stage a much-anticipated three-month retrospective on Narrative Figuration (Narrative Figuration, Paris, 1960-1972, from 16 April to 13 July), a French art movement mirroring American Pop Art of the 1960s.

Although pop art has so far only reached its full potential in the United States, the movement also has roots in Europe. Now, the market is starting to remember.
