We are grateful to the Fondation Walter & Nicole Leblanc, Brussels for their kind support in cataloging this lot.

PROVENANCE: Acquired directly from the artist in 1985.

Walter Leblanc says about his mode of operation: "Grouped in logically or systematically arranged sequences, my work is of serial nature (repetition of similar elements). By capturing light, its three-dimensional structure makes for a contrast to the backing's smooth surface onto which it casts its shadow." (Quote after www.walterleblanc.org; on 11 February, 2015)
