Variations by Sagra in a Brass Circle Diameter: 49 Height: 52 Depth: 8.5 cm PROVENANCE Lot No. 74 from the Binoche and Giquello auction on October 21, 2021. Note: This species of beetle, nicknamed the “frog-thighed beetle,” is known as Sagra femorata. The concentric circles are composed exclusively of natural insects. In the center, the females display a remarkable diversity of colors, always enhanced by metallic sheens. As one moves gradually away from the center, the males appear, arranged from the smallest to the most exceptional specimens. Native to Malaysia and Thailand, these beetles are displayed between two glass plates, at the heart of an imposing solid brass circle. This presentation, both minimalist and spectacular, magnifies their shapes and colors, giving them an almost unreal presence.
