拍品专文

Loïe Fuller, a dancer from Chicago, was the rage of Paris in the 1890's as a dancer at the Folies-Bergère. Unlike the other dancers whose reputations were based on their risqué performances, Miss Fuller's notoriety stemmed from an ethereal fluttering of the fabric of her own gown. The voluminous dress was attached to long poles and when she moved the fabric, which was lit from below on a mirrored stage by lights, she created a magical vision. Her performance included four pieces, namely 'Serpentine', 'Violet', 'Butterfly' and 'White Dance'.
In an attempt to recreate the glitter of her performance, Lautrec created an almost entirely abstract image which was pounced with gold powder after printing.
