Max Loreau, Catalogue des travaux de Jean Dubuffet, Fascicule XXXIV, Psycho-Sites, Paris, 1984, no. 170, p. 51, illustré

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is a little less contrasted in the original work. The upper and lower left corners are a bit wavy, inherent to the laid down technique. There is a minor wear at the tip of each of the four corners. This work is in excellent condition.

Sotheby’s est très honoré d’offrir aux enchères cet ensemble d’oeuvres de Jean Dubuffet provenant d’une prestigieuse collection particuliè꧋re française. 

Sélectionnées par un couple de mécènes éclairés, elles retracent le parcours unique d’un artiste hors-norme. Trois de ces oeuvres, issues de la collection même de la fille de l’artiste, sont pour la première fois exposées au public. C'est notamment le cas de Site aux 6 personnages (1981), dont les couleurs psychédéliques et l’espacꦓe fractionné renforcent l'idée d'isolement de la figure humaine. L’art redevie🐎nt brut. 

Sotheby's is very honoured to auction this group of works by Jean Dubuffet from a presti෴gious French private collection.

Selected by a couple of informed patrons, they retrace the unique path of this exceptio﷽nal artist. Three of these works🥂, from the collection of the artist's own daughter, are shown to the public for the first time. This is notably the case of "Site aux 6 personnages" (1981) whose psychedelic colours and fragmented space reinforce the idea of the isolation of the human figure. Art becomes brut.
