Ripollés (1932) - Sculpture, La señora - 59 cm - Bronze

Bronze sculpture by the artist Ripollés, rust-patinated, is in perfect condition, serial number 3/8. It carries its certificate of authenticity. Juan García Ripollés —known as Ripollés—, was born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932. The death of his mother during childbirth led him to Castellón de la Plana. His early years were not easy: he collected horse manure, worked as a junkman and as a house painter, until he moved to Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And there is where he achieved it. Four years after his arrival, he managed to hang his paintings in the prestigious Drouand David gallery, the same one that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall. Since his return to Spain, in the 1960s, his studio is nature. Today, at 92, it remains the case: he paints in the orchard of his manor house in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in the province of Castellón. During the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the finest galleries and museums of Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo or Beijing. His large-format sculptures have been installed in parks and in the main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch or Beijing.
