Lot 144 - LOT VENDU SUR DESIGNATION - Alain Bublex (né en 1961) - Aéro Fiat 5.1 2002 Prototype Fiat 126 revisited and enriched with various materials Unique piece H. 135 cm W. 310 cm D. 177 cm Provenance: > Galerie Georges-Philippe et Nathalie Vallois, Paris > Collection of Monsieur A., Nice Bibliography: > "Aerofiat" exhibition catalog, Centre d'Art Plastique de Saint-Fons, 1997, reproduced > "Pleins phares full beam im Schweinwerflich" exhibition catalog, Cité de l'Automobile de Mulhouse, Éditions Hazan, Paris, 2007, reproduced Exhibitions: > Aérofiat, Centre d'Art Plastique de Saint-Fons, 1997 > Donjon de Vez, "Machins-Machines", 1999 > Pleins phares full beam im Schweinwerflicht, Cité de l'Automobile de Mulhouse, September 20, 2007 - January 31, 2008 Condition report: This lot is to be collected after the sale from a storage facility in Goussainville (Val d'Oise) at the buyer's expense. No condition report will be issued prior to the sale. Neither the mechanical operation nor the general condition of the work is guaranteed. Alain Bublex has devoted a large part of his artistic output to the automobile for several years. The Aérofiat project is a tentacular undertaking, comprising a body of work including drawings, aerodynamic studies, photographs and prototypes. Drawing on research from the 1930s and applying it to a contemporary vehicle, the artist constructs a story parallel to that of the history of the automobile. The Fiat 126, archetypal of the small, popular and modern car of its time, served as the basis for these reflections and trasnformations. The various prototypes created by Alain Bublex are the result of possible hybridizations between two worlds: that of everyday rationality and that of a utopia of progress where all human dreams remain accessible. The 4 Aérofiat models modestly embody these ideal projections, synthesizing our desire to travel in the same vehicle, not only on the road, but also in the water and in the air. --- A car fanatic, Alain Bublex has devoted a large part of his artistic production to the automobile for several years.
