Grand Vin De Bordeaux
“RIVE DROITE” 2010
THE EXPERIENCE
If fruit concentration, supple tannins and a well-built structure are the Right Bank’s allure, such buoyancy can as well be appreciated in this sumptuous oil on canvas by the then 39- year-old burgeoning artist. Subsequent to his first exhibition at Galerie de France in Paris in 1957, in 1959 Zao Wou-Ki had his first exhibition at Kootz Gallery in New York. Frozen in time but immortalised by this masterpiece is Zao Wou-Ki’s dynamism and optimism, in unison with the generosity, power and structure of the regal Right Bank.

1959 is the year of full abstract for Zao Wou-Ki. Beyond a strict representation of the world, objects and signs totally disappear while tempestuous huge masses confront each other. Little by little, a new style of painting emerges but palpable tensions still run through it.
