Original invitation issued for Jean Clareboudt’s 1990 exhibition Oblique Haute at CREDAC, Ivry-sur-Seine, produced in connection with the installation of the monumental work Orme au Chat on Boulevard Brandenbourg. The invitation was issued under the name of Jacques Laloë, Mayor of Ivry, marking the civic dimension of the commission.

The front image carries much of the object’s force: a suspended mass, a crane, a public site, and the artist’s name in red. Clareboudt’s sculpture often worked through weight, tension, industrial material, and open space. Here those concerns remain in reduced form, held by the card itself.

A strong printed trace of a temporary sculptural event. Small format, large object behind it.

Shipping and handling included in the listed price. Ships flat in protective archival packaging.
