FRANCE GALL AND SERGE GAINSBOURG - Lot 144
FRANCE GALL AND SERGE GAINSBOURG Wax doll, sound doll… Visible on the desk is the cover of Gainsbourg’s 1965 album *Confidentiel*. Photo by Patrick Bertrand, vintage silver gelatin print, captioned (photographer’s credit) on the back. 13 x 18 cm. Note: Taken in 1965, this photograph features France Gall and Serge Gainsbourg during the era of *Poupée de cire, poupée de son*, the song that won the Eurovision Song Contest for Luxembourg and marked a turning point in both artists’ careers. Composed and written by Gainsbourg for the young singer, who was seventeen at the time, the song introduced a new modernity to French popular music and remains one of the most iconic tracks of the 1960s. The visible presence of the cover of Serge Gainsbourg’s album *Confidentiel* also underscores the artistic bond that united the songwriter and his performer at the time. Taken by Patrick Bertrand, this photograph serves as a valuable testament to a major collaboration in the history of French music, at a time when both artists were rising to international fame.
