Talosel Resin, Colored Mirrored Glass, Convex Reflective Sculpture

Line Vautrin designed sculptural mirrors that defined Parisian Neo-Romantic chic in the 1950s and 60s, including her series of Soleil mirrors drawing on the traditional representation of the sun. Soleil à Pointes n°4 features a repetitive pattern resembling Inca symbols and pictographs. Vautrin was deeply engaged with mythology and alchemic science, hence why her creations demonstrate the meeting and mixing of various substances, making them interact and compete with each other in search of something new.

Artist Biography

Line Vautrin was born in Paris, France, in 1913 to a family of metalworkers. Mastering the trade at an early age, Vautrin left school at age 15 to pursue metal craft full time. In 1937, she secured a booth at the International Exhibition in Paris, and her jewellery began to receive widespread recognition. She quickly opened a boutique in the heart of Paris to offer her creations to a select clientele and famous decorators.
