Jean-Paul LUBLINER "PARIS, JE T'AIME" (2004 /... Lot n° 17

An embroidery of light underlines the quays of the Seine and sublimates the Eiffel Tower, against the majestic background of a night sky. The little heart discreetly added by Slimane Ismaili Alaoui alias Nassyo, with its neon pop allure a la Martial Raysse, is like a message of love that the tower would emit around it. A nod to the postcards favoured by tourists, the symbol also evokes the passions that the City of Light arouses in the four corners of the world, even in China, where the red colour of the tower reminds us that it is the year of celebration in France.
