« Alice Pilastre’s proposition finds its origin in textile - the thread, the frame, the point - in sculpture, in installations and... in music! As with the barrel organ, one discovers lace, raveling along the barbed metal roller, singing a tune. On one side, a melody cuts out the perforated textile; on the other, it is the perforation of the textile that invents the melody; a bit further, the mechanical rattling of the lace makers spindles, spinning around madly, suspended like a mobile, remind us that textile is tradition, knowledge, materials, tools, vocabulary… meanwhile an infinite source of creation »
Translated from the speech given by Jean-Luc Metten during the "Coup de Coeur de La Cambre 2010" awards.

« La proposition d’Alice Pilastre tient à la fois du textile - le fil, la trame, le point - de la sculpture, de l’installation et... de la musique! Comme dans l’orgue de Barbarie, la dentelle, défilant sur le rouleau métallique à picots, se met à chanter. Ici, c’est une mélodie qui découpe le textile perforé; là, c’est la perforation du textile qui invente la mélodie; plus loin, c’est le cliquetis mécanique des fuseaux de dentellière, emportés dans une ronde folle, suspendus comme un mobile, qui rappelle que le textile est tout à la fois tradition, savoir faire, matériaux, outils, vocabulaire... et source infinie de création. »

Modern sales review: when Moore means more

The £19.1m sale of a Henry Moore bronze nude has put him into the top five of 20th-century sculptors.
Henry Moore inched past Lucian Freud last week to become the second most expensive 20th century British artist after Francis Bacon, and toppled Damien Hirst from his position as Britain's most expensive sculptor at auction when his eight-foot bronze, Reclining Figure: Festival (pictured) sold for £19.1 million. This exceeds Freud's $33 million (£17.2 million) record and Hirst's £9.6 million record.*

The price also places Moore in the top five of international 20th-century sculptors - above Picasso and trailing only Giacometti, Modigliani, Matisse and Brancusi. This will not surprise those who remember that, 30 years ago, Moore was the world's most successful living artist at auction. In 1982, four years before his death, Sotheby's in New York sold a 6ft reclining figure, made in 1945, for $1.2 million to US collector Wendell Cherry.
