About the Item

Pierre Soulages is considered a major figure of post-war European abstraction, alongside Hans Hartung, Georges Mathieu, Serge Poliakoff, and Jean-Paul Riopelle. He’s particularly renowned for his “outrenoir” (“beyond black”) series of paintings, which feature matte and glossy black fields interrupted by ridges, scores, and gashes; the artist is interested in how black paint absorbs and reflects light. Since making his gallery debut in 1947, Soulages has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Louvre, and the State Hermitage Museum (he was the first living artist to show at the institution), and his work has been acquired for the collections of the Centre Pompidou, the Guggenheim, Tate Modern, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. At auction, Soulages’s work regularly sells for seven-figure prices.

1987 original exhibitino poster by Pierre Soulages - Artcurial Paris

By Pierre Soulages

Located in PARIS, FR

In 1987, the renowned French artist Pierre Soulages showcased his work in an exhibition titled Estampes at Artcurial in Paris, marking a significant moment in his long career. The exhibition, which focused on Soulages' prints, was accompanied by an original poster that has since become a celebrated piece of art in its own right, capturing the essence of his distinctive style. Pierre Soulages, known for his groundbreaking work with black, revolutionized the way the color was used in contemporary art. His series of works referred to as "noir-lumiere" (black light) explored the interplay of light and dark, where the use of black paint became an instrument for creating dynamic surfaces full of texture and depth. Throughout his career, Soulages was deeply interested in the idea of the materiality of paint itself and how it could be manipulated to reflect light, which led him to develop an innovative approach to printmaking. The Estampes exhibition at Artcurial focused specifically on Soulages' prints, offering a closer look at his exploration of graphic arts. This body of work was crucial in understanding the breadth of his artistic practice. Soulages' prints, much like his paintings, were not merely reproductions of his earlier works; they were unique pieces that engaged with the act of creating marks on paper, emphasizing texture and form in a way that was completely aligned with his larger body of work. The original exhibition poster designed for Estampes encapsulated the essence of Soulages’ philosophy. Though the poster’s design reflects the focus on printmaking, it also draws from his signature approach to texture and abstraction. The boldness of Soulages’ work, whether in painting or print, is often characterized by a sense of energy and movement, as he manipulates the surface of the material to evoke both light and shadow. The 1987 poster...
