CARMEN CALVO (Valencia, 1950). "Bonne pensé du matin", 1999. Mixed media and collage on canvas. Attached certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery La Ribera (Murcia). Presents stamp on the back of the Gallery La Ribera (Murcia) and informative label of the Ramis Barquet Gallery (New York). Signed, titled and dated on the back. Measurements: 100 x 100 cm; 115 x 115 cm (frame). The work Bonne pensé du matin (1999) by Carmen Calvo is a paradigmatic example of the visual and conceptual language that characterizes the career of this artist, one of the most relevant figures of Spanish contemporary art since the end of the 20th century. In this piece, Calvo builds a complex and stratified composition from diverse materials, papers, photographs, drawings, found objects and three-dimensional elements, organized on a common support. The arrangement of these fragments evokes the aesthetics of the archive or the notebook, where the artist superimposes layers of memory, language and experience. The result is a sort of emotional cartography, where objects and images dialogue with each other, generating a tension between the intimate and the public, the real and the symbolic. Carmen Calvo studied at the Schools of Arts and Crafts and Fine Arts in Valencia, and graduated in advertising in 1970. She would later broaden her training thanks to scholarships from the Ministry of Culture (1980), the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid (1983-85) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for her residence in Paris (1985-92). During these years Calvo began to be recognized, receiving distinctions such as the I LaSalle Seiko Painting Prize of Barcelona (1985), the Alfons Roig of the Diputación Valenciana (1989), a scholarship in the I Biennial Martínez Guerricabeitia of the University of Valencia (1989), and the selection for the XLVII Biennial of Venice (1997).

CARMEN CALVO (Valencia, 1950). "Walls", July, 1991. Mixed media (oil, terracotta and canvas) on wood. Signed, dated and titled on the back. It presents breakage in the wood of the back part that does not affect the canvas. Measurements: 150 x 190 cm. Carmen Calvo's transgressive and at the same time poetically charged character is fully appreciated in "Walls", a work that links up with the image of the order of accumulation associated with the artist. In it, small pieces of terracotta are superimposed on the canvas and introduce us to a rhythm of sequences reminiscent of a collector's display case, an influence derived from Calvo's discovery of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian art collections at the Louvre Museum in Paris. With regard to the use of clay, it is worth mentioning that the artist made use of this material on numerous occasions, albeit not as an ornamental element (in its ceramic, enamelled or polychrome form), but as a mundane fragment, stripping it of superfluous elements, that is to say, ennobling it. Carmen Calvo studied at the Schools of Arts and Crafts and Fine Arts in Valencia, and graduated in advertising in 1970. She would later broaden her training thanks to grants from the Ministry of Culture (1980), the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid (1983-85) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for her residence in Paris (1985-92). Around this time Calvo began to be recognised, receiving distinctions such as the 1st LaSalle Seiko Painting Prize in Barcelona (1985), the Alfons Roig Prize from the Diputación Valenciana (1989), a scholarship at the 1st Martínez Guerricabeitia Biennial of the University of Valencia (1989), and selection for the 47th Venice Biennial (1997). The artist had begun her exhibition activity in 1969, taking part in a group show held at the Círculo Universitario in Valencia. She made her solo debut in 1976 at the Temps gallery in her native city, and since then she has shown her work individually in various cities in Spain and the United States, as well as in other countries in Europe, America and Africa.

A work that links with the image of order and accumulation associated with the artist. In it, small pieces of clay are superimposed on the paper and introduce us into a rhythm of sequences reminiscent of a collector's display case, an influence derived from Calvo's discovery of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian art collections at the Louvre Museum in Paris. As for the use of clay, it is worth mentioning how the artist resorts to this material on numerous occasions, although not using it as an ornamental element (in its ceramic, enameled or polychrome mode), but as a mundane fragment, stripping it of superfluous elements, that is to say, ennobling it. Carmen Calvo studied at the Schools of Arts and Crafts and Fine Arts in Valencia, and graduated in advertising in 1970. She would later broaden her training thanks to scholarships from the Ministry of Culture (1980), the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid (1983-85) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for her residence in Paris (1985-92). During these years Calvo began to be recognized, receiving distinctions such as the I LaSalle Seiko Painting Prize in Barcelona (1985), the Alfons Roig of the Diputación Valenciana (1989), a scholarship in the I Biennial Martínez Guerricabeitia of the University of Valencia (1989), and the selection for the XLVII Biennial of Venice (1997). The artist had begun her exhibition activity in 1969, taking part in a group show held at the Círculo Universitario de Valencia. She made her individual debut in 1976 at the Temps gallery in her native city, and since then she has shown her work individually in various cities in Spain and the United States, as well as in other countries in Europe, America and Africa. Works by Carmen Calvo can currently be seen in art institutions, museums and private collections around the world, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Marugame Hirai in Kobe, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Fonds National d'Art Contemporain in Paris, the IVAM in Valencia, the Chase Manhattan Bank collection in New York, etc.

CARMEN CALVO (Valencia, 1950). "Zurbarán", 1989. Mixed media, rope and canvas on board. Presents stamp on the back of the Nave 10 Gallery (Valencia). Signed, dated and titled on the back. Measurements: 110 x 60 cm; 120 x 67,5 cm (frame). The title of this work gives us a key that allows us as viewers to understand the artist's aesthetic influences and their resignification in a contemporary language and context. Carmen Calvo has made numerous works inspired by the Spanish painting of the Golden Age: Sánchez Cotán, Zurbarán and later Goya's Black Paintings". This concept is expressed directly by Calvo, who stated in Makma magazine (July 4, 2022): "What I do is to manipulate objects by incorporating them into another context and another way of seeing. Mannequins, for example, have been treated since the Renaissance, and then Picasso or Breton have also worked on them by manipulating them. Everything has been invented here. I also refer to Zurbarán, to the old still lifes, and that's it, because I come from a classical education". Starting with the name of the painter Zurbarán (1633-1635), we can observe a great influence of the mastery of white that made Zurbarán famous, visible in works such as "Homage to Saint Hugo in the refectory of the Carthusians, 1630-1635 (Museum of Fine Arts of Seville) or Saint Serapius (Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford). In addition, the rope that crosses Carmen Calvo's piece may remind us of the belt of the "St. Francis standing contemplating a skull" (Museo del Prado), where three knots represent the three vows of the order. Carmen Calvo studied at the Schools of Arts and Crafts and Fine Arts in Valencia, and graduated in advertising in 1970. She would later broaden her training thanks to scholarships from the Ministry of Culture (1980), the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid (1983-85) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for her residence in Paris (1985-92). During these years Calvo began to be recognized, receiving distinctions such as the I LaSalle Seiko Painting Prize of Barcelona (1985), the Alfons Roig of the Diputación Valenciana (1989), a scholarship in the I Biennial Martínez Guerricabeitia of the University of Valencia (1989), and the selection for the XLVII Biennial of Venice (1997).

One of the passions of the artist Carmen Calvo is to stroll through flea markets and leaf through old albums in search of old photographs to intervene, thus offering a renewed vision of the ancient anonymous snapshots taken in the past. Unknown characters in black and white, often in group photographs, transform their identity through the inclusion of masks and other surreal elements.

CARMEN CALVO (Valencia, 1950). Objects Series. Mixed media on book by María Santoja, on board and methacrylate box. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 22 x 47 x 18 cm (urn). Around 1996, Carmen Calvo recovered many of the objects from a tailor's shop located in the Plaza de la Reina in Valencia. The store belonged to Rafael Molina and his wife María Santonja, whose name can be read on this piece. The artist recovered numerous papers, magazines, patterns, fashion illustrations, correspondence, notes, invoices, in short, everything that had been discarded or forgotten. In this particular case Carmen Calvo presents a draft book of ornaments in which a series of crystals as "fossilized brushstrokes", as the author herself has called her technique. The work links with the image of the order of accumulation associated with the artist. In it, small pieces introduce us to a rhythm of sequences reminiscent of a collector's display case, an influence derived from Calvo's discovery of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian art collections at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The influences, recognized by Calvo, come from the work of Kurt Schwitters or Joseph Cornell, in which the objectual, the accumulation and the rhythmic repetition come together to create a work that is very much archaeological in its creation. Carmen Calvo studied at the Schools of Arts and Crafts and Fine Arts in Valencia, and graduated in advertising in 1970. She would later broaden her training thanks to scholarships from the Ministry of Culture (1980), the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid (1983-85) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for her residence in Paris (1985-92). During these years Calvo began to be recognized, receiving distinctions such as the I LaSalle Seiko Painting Prize of Barcelona (1985), the Alfons Roig of the Diputación Valenciana (1989), a scholarship in the I Biennial Martínez Guerricabeitia of the University of Valencia (1989), and the selection for the XLVII Biennial of Venice (1997).

It presents breakage in the wood of the back part that does not affect the canvas. Measurements: 150 x 190 cm. Carmen Calvo's transgressive and at the same time poetically charged character is fully appreciated in "Walls", a work that links up with the image of the order of accumulation associated with the artist. In it, small pieces of terracotta are superimposed on the canvas and introduce us to a rhythm of sequences reminiscent of a collector's display case, an influence derived from Calvo's discovery of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian art collections at the Louvre Museum in Paris. With regard to the use of clay, it is worth mentioning that the artist made use of this material on numerous occasions, albeit not as an ornamental element (in its ceramic, enamelled or polychrome form), but as a mundane fragment, stripping it of superfluous elements, that is to say, ennobling it.
