Grand piano, unique model of the artist Jean Cortot, produced in collaboration with the Maeght Gallery and made in France in 2006.

Blue and ochre satin lacquer finish. Length 190 cm. Signature of the artist. Matching bench. Jean Cortot celebrates the modernity of the Salle Pleyel on the occasion of its reopening in 2006 with a plastic tribute to the music and work of his father, the pianist Alfred Cortot (1877-1962) whose musical life was closely linked to that of the Pleyel pianos and the Salle Pleyel. Through "Alèssido", the artist gives us his interpretation of a piano in the vein of his famous series of "writings", a true symbiosis of writing and painting. The names of the greatest composers who inspired the Pleyel company are written on imaginary staves with an allegorical graphic design reminiscent of musical notes.
