After devoting a museum-quality solo show to Alicia Penalba (1913-1982) in the autumn of 2021, the Galerie A&R Fleury is pleased to pursue the promotion of this Argentinean-born artist by presenting one of the most emblematic works of her career, Hommage à César Vallejo.The sculpture Homage to César Vallejo (1956) belongs to her first, so-called “totemic” period, which contributed to her emergence as one of the key figures of post-war abstract sculpture.On display in the gardens of the Maison de l’Amérique latine, Hommage à César Vallejo bears witness to Penalba’s precocious talent and her aptitude for expressing herself in large dimensions whilst maintaining a connection with the architecture and the surrounding space. It is one of her most monumental works.
