 This group of artists defined themselves as bearing in common a "new perspective approaches of reality".Their work was an attempt at reassessing the concept of art and the artist in the context of a 20th-century consumer society by reasserting the humanistic ideals in the face of industrial expansion.In 2011 Raysse's painting, "Last Year in Capri (Exotic Title)," sold for $6.58 million at Christie's auction, the most expensive price paid for a work by a living French artist.
