Note du spécialiste

The present and following lot (272) from American artist Sharon Core's Thiebaud series (2003–2004), are simulations of Wayne Thiebaud's iconic food paintings of the 1960s. To construct these images, Core carefully bakes the confections and uses sculpture and trompe-l'oeil painting techniques to replicate the scenes and textures of Thiebaud's canvases. Core then prints her resulting images to scale with the original paintings. The series is a playful examination of the modes of simulation, reproduction and artifice that are involved in art-making.
