Margret #7 by Prune Nourry DONATED BY PRUNE NOURRY Born in Paris in 1985, Prune Nourry lives and works between New York and Paris. A 2006 graduate in wood sculpture from the École Boulle in Paris, she is represented by Galerie Templon (Paris, Brussels) and Simon Studer Art in Switzerland.

Prune Nourry has consistently expanded the boundaries of art through collaboration at the forefront of artistic discourse and social engagement. Believing in the transformative power of sculpture, and the idea that artworks infuse collective emotions with a ripple-like effect that can ignite positive change, she created the Catharsis Arts Foundation in February 2024 with Claude Grunitzky. She is currently exploring these themes as artist-in-residence at Atelier Jolie in New York City.

Through the Catharsis Arts Foundation, Prune Nourry strives to draw attention to the harrowing stories of certain communities via travelling exhibitions designed with the artists and craftspeople concerned. One result was Statues Also Breathe, a tribute to the schoolgirls abducted

by Boko Haram in Chibok, Nigeria, on April 14, 2014.

In the style of the sacred Yoruba heads of Ile-Ife, in Nigeria, this "army of 108 girls" had been created in 2022 in collaboration with Nigeria's ObafemiAwolowo University and the families of the captives.

Once it has travelled, the work is destined to join the collection of a museum in Africa, as a reminder of Nigeria's cultural richness and the ongoing struggle for girls' education around the world.

Shipping outside of New York City is the responsibility of the winning bidder.

Storage for up to 30 days from the auction date is included, and the responsibility of the winning bidder thereafter.

Please note that 25% of the sale price shall be paid as a 100% tax-deductible contribution to the Catharsis Arts Foundation, and 75% to the Lycée.
