Description
Jean-Joseph Sanfourche (French, 1929–2010) Figure Polychrome bone. Signed. H 37 W 8 D 7 cm. Provenance: the collection of Laurent Danchin (1946–2017), writer, essayist and art critic, passed down through the family. A self-taught woodcarver and draughtsman trained in Limoges, Sanfourche maintained a long-standing friendship with Jean Dubuffet, with whom he corresponded for nearly eighteen years, and with Gaston Chaissac. His works are held in the Collection de l’Art Brut in Lausanne and at the Fabuloserie. Laurent Danchin wrote the preface and annotations for *Cher Monsieur Dubuffet: 50 letters from Jean-Joseph Sanfourche to Jean Dubuffet, 1971–1985* (Thuillier éditeur, Coulounieix-Chamiers, 2009), and co-edited, with Alain Pauzié, Pierre Souchaud and Gérard Sendrey, *Le cas Sanfourche* (Bègles, 1994).
