About the work

Gabriel Lemaire Sicre is represented by ARTDELION, an art agency in Paris. This work is not for sale. At the outset, the manufacturer's drawing of the machine, late 1960s. On arrival, a little car that is happy to eat up the miles. Shear car, from a set of power shears.

The format, in practice

At 120 cm high, it stands on the floor without a base, at the height of a piece of furniture. It is 260 cm wide, so it takes a whole wall or a large open span. Measure before you fall for it. Its smallest cross-section is 120 cm, wider than a standard door leaf. Check the doorways and the stairwell before delivery, we do it with you.
