Pierre ALECHINSKY (b. 1927) - Lot 193
Pierre ALECHINSKY (b. 1927) Untitled, 1964 Ink drawing (pen and wash) on scrap paper, signed and dated (February 1964) upper right, dedicated to Sanky upper left. Small stain at top left probably inherent to the use of recovered paper. 17.6 x 10.5 cm (view) Provenance: Jean and Sanky Raine collection. Jean Raine (1927-1986), Sanky Raine (1927-2011) and their family, an artistic destiny in the service of creation This unique and unprecedented collection is built around the extraordinary and singular personality of Jean Raine, painter, poet, writer and filmmaker, born Jean Geenen on January 24, 1927 in Schaerbeek (Belgium) and who died in Rochetaillée-sur-Saône on June 29, 1986. This collection bears witness to his many artistic friendships, which began in Brussels with the CoBrA group, of which he was an active member. His complicity with Pierre Alechinsky (b. 1927) is highlighted by four drawings, including a sublime ink made in New York in 1967, and more than twenty perfectly selected prints. Other CoBrA artists, among the rarest, Julio Silva (1930-2020), Serge Vandercam (1924-2005) and Florent Welles (1922-2000) complete this historic gathering. In 1966, Jean Raine flew to California with his wife Sankisha Rolin Hymans, known as Sanky (1927-2021), whom he had met in Brussels in the early 1960s. Together, they spent two years between San Francisco and Los Angeles, collecting hallucinatory and extremely rare psychedelic posters. After settling near Lyon in 1968, with their curiosity always on the alert, the family collection was expanded by their son Pierre-François (b. 1965), a graphic designer and gallery owner who is a marvellous archivist of his father's work. Today, his grandson Nemo Santiago Geenen, based in Brussels, continues this exemplary artistic legacy, whose works we are proud to present for public sale for the very first time.
