A recurring motif in César’s work, the teapot transcends its status as a mere everyday object, a theme dear to the New Realists. Through it, the artist actually paints an intimate portrait of his mistress “Christine R.,” who ran a tea room in Nice. Because of their “colorful” relationship, their mutual friends took to calling her “La Théière”
