Galerie La Hune Appraisal

Friedlaender Galerie La Hune Exhibition Poster Mounted on Wood with Resin Coating

This appears to be a vintage art print or poster, likely an exhibition announcement, for an artist named Friedlaender. The print is mounted on a solid wooden plaque, possibly pine or oak, with a visible wood grain and a warm, medium-brown finish. The edges of the wood create a natural frame around the print. The print itself has a layered or collage-like aesthetic, featuring abstract shapes and textures. The dominant colors in the artwork portion appear to be muted tones of brown, beige, and possibly some earthier reds or greens, with some darker, possibly blue or black, circular elements visible on the left. The artist's name, 'FRIEDLAENDER', is prominently displayed at the top in sans-serif capital letters. Below the artwork, text indicates a date range 'JUIN - JUILLET 1978' and what appears to be a gallery or venue name 'LA HUNE' along with an address '14 rue de l'Abbaye - 75006 PARIS' and a phone number '325.54.06'. The surface of the print has been covered with a thick, glossy resin or epoxy layer, which provides aprotective and somewhat magnified effect, but also reflects light intensely, making some details difficult to discern. This resin application is a common method for preserving and presenting posters or prints, popular from the mid-20th century onwards. The condition appears to be good for its age, with no obvious major damage to the print itself, though the resin coating shows some minor surface wear and reflections. The wooden backing suggests it's ready for hanging, consistent with the 'mental wire hanging back' context provided, indicating a method for display. The estimated age is clearly mid to late 1970s based on the 'JUIN - JUILLET 1978' date.
