the story of this
diptych-portrait of the
”Wolf of wall street”
At the beginning of December 2022, Jean-Claude Bossel was contacted by the organizers of a Jordan Belfort conference in Geneva, scheduled for February 18, 2023.
The idea discussed with the organizers was that Bossel has to paint an original “portrait” of the “Wolf of Wall street” and that this painting has to be sold directly during the show.
The profit of the sale was supposed to be a donation for the Bossel’s educational projects, more particularly in art and mathematics.
Unfortunately, the conference was postponed and Bossel couldn’t show his diptych to Jordan Belfort nor to the audience.
