Art Museum Exhibitions: ‘Nicolas de Staël’ In Paris

ART VISION TV / C&B Films (January 13, 2024) – The Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris is devoting a major retrospective to Nicolas de Staël (1914-1955), a French painter of Russian origin known for his use of a thick impasto and his highly abstract landscape painting. He was a key figure on the post-war French art scene.

Twenty years after the one organised by the Centre Pompidou in 2003, this exhibition offers a fresh look at the artist’s work, drawing on more recent thematic exhibitions that have highlighted certain little-known aspects of his career (Antibes in 2014, Le Havre in 2014, Aix-en-Provence in 2018).

Sotheby’s (April 11, 2023) – This collection was put together by a couple of passionate collectors who favored avant-garde works from the 1930s and 1940s, thus creating an extremely harmonious whole that perfectly reflects the taste of an era and the artistic revolutions that went through it.

The works have remained preserved in a Parisian apartment for almost sixty years, and their appearance on the market constitutes an unprecedented opportunity for collectors today”. Says Aurélie Vandevoorde, Director of the Impressionist and Modern Art Department.
