Also known as
Alain Georges Frank Jacquet
Alain Jacquet (1939–2008) was a French artist associated in published reference summaries with Nouvelle Figuration and Pop Art. His career connected Paris and New York, and his practice extended across painting, graphic work, prints, and editioned objects; authority records also identify him as an engraver and illustrator. Jacquet is especially associated with the Camouflage paintings, which reused recognizable compositions from art history, including motifs derived from Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe and The Birth of Venus. These transformations place familiar imagery within the visual culture and reproduction methods surrounding postwar Pop. Museum artist records at the Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Art, together with Getty, VIAF, BnF, and IdRef authority records, establish a strong public identity trail. Collectors may encounter his name across paintings, works on paper, prints, mixed-media pieces, and editions, making correct identification of medium, date, authorship, and edition details especially important.

Common works and media
Auction and authority records place Jacquet’s work across paintings, works on paper, prints, engravings, graphic art, editions, sculpture, and mixed media. His Camouflage paintings are a particularly recognizable body of work, reusing established compositions from art history. For prints and other multiples, collectors should record the technique, dimensions, edition number, publisher or printer information, signature, inscriptions, and condition. For paintings and mixed-media objects, the support, surface, date, provenance, and any restoration history are important descriptive details.
Market and appraisal context
Alain Jacquet’s auction record spans paintings, works on paper, prints, editions, sculpture, and mixed media. An appraisal should compare the object with public sales sharing the same medium, approximate dimensions, date, subject, and edition status. Condition, restoration, surface quality, signature or inscriptions, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and attribution confidence can all affect comparability. Results should also be checked for differences in currency, sale date, and whether reported prices include buyer’s premiums. Public auction data provides useful evidence, but it does not capture every private transaction, attribution change, or condition issue and should not be treated as a price guarantee.
