The Prize

Win the artwork by the artist Bernard Aubertin

Burned matches on canvas. 2010. The dimensions are 35x35 cm.

Bernard Aubertin, born in 1934 in Fontenay-aux-Roses, is one of the greatest artists of the postwar European avant-garde. His conception of art is radicalized by the encounter, in 1957, with Yves Klein, where his creative process with the creation of his famous monochrome canvases began. His conception of painting is metaphysical.

He was also the greatest French exponent of the "Group Zero" in Düsseldorf which collected authors like Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and Günther Uecker. Always appreciated by critics and most refined collectors, Aubertin has exploded in the market in the years after 2010, when his works began to be present in large international auctions.

There is a certificate of authenticity.

Live a Dream, Make a Change

The purchase of unique items through an auction house requires careful evaluation by the buyer. We invite you to personally examine all the information and material at your disposal, including our returns policy, before proceeding with purchase.

The Cause

Micro Sol means Solidal Microcredit. We have created a fund to provide small interest-free loans for people who live in countries where the average income is particularly low: Burundi, Rwanda, Nicaragua. The microcredit is then used to found or expand a work reality like creating farms or spaces to host chickens and pigs, and buying seeds or equipment to grow rice, cereals or beans. People can also buy what they need to open a tailoring service, a little shop in isolated areas away from the cities, and many other ventures. The micocredits are usually from 20 to 800 euros per person/family, and they expire in 4 to 18 months. In the locations, our professional partners select the beneficiaries that monitor the microcredit and make sure that it's returned to the charity. At this point, we can either return the loan to the donor or loan the money to other people.
