Le Corbusier — ...apparue devant la porte, from Petite Confidences
Le Corbusier

...apparue devant la porte, from Petite Confidences

This lithograph by Le Corbusier, titled *...apparue devant la porte* from the *Petite Confidences* series, was created in 1962 and published by the renowned Mourlot print studio in Paris. As an artist's proof outside the standard edition of 125, this work bears a personal dedication to Germaine Ducret along with two signatures, making it a particularly intimate and rare example of Le Corbusier's printmaking practice. The piece reflects the polymath architect and artist's engagement with fine art printmaking in his later years, demonstrating his distinctive visual language beyond his celebrated architectural achievements.

Medium
signed twice, dated `18/11/62', inscribed `pour Germaine Ducret avec mes amities', and annotated `epreuve d'artiste' in pencil (an artist's proof, the edition was 125 with the individual prints unsigned and unnumbered), published by Mourlot, Paris, unframed.
