France – Scott # 2457

Description

Issued in 1995, France Scott #2457 features a contemporary artwork by Per Kirkeby, one of Denmark’s most influential late-20th-century artists. The stamp forms part of France’s ongoing engagement with modern European art, presenting abstract expression through bold color fields and gestural linework.

The composition shows layered, organic forms in earthy reds and greens, outlined with expressive black strokes. The painterly texture and sense of movement reflect Kirkeby’s background in geology and his interest in natural structures and transformation. The minimalist white frame and vertical layout allow the artwork to dominate, aligning with museum-style art issues of the 1990s.

Denominated 6.70 francs, the stamp bears the inscription “Kirkeby – Danemark.” It is a strong topical for collectors of contemporary art, abstraction, and late-20th-century European culture.

This example is offered mint never hinged, with full original gum, clean margins, sharp perforations, and fresh, unfaded color.
