SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The painter and textile designer Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979) is documented here through abstract works and pieces intended for clothing or furnishing. These references reveal a practice spanning several media, without reducing her work to a single medium. The Catalogo Generale dei Beni Culturali records Étude 1781 T.G, described as an abstract subject painted in the 20th century, as well as an abstract composition printed in the same period. These entries attest to the presence of painting and printmaking among the recorded works, without providing a description that would allow their appearance to be specified further.
The Art Institute of Chicago entries record several textiles designed in 1920 and dated 1977. Jazz, a textile for a dress or for furnishing, and Signal, a tablecloth, bear the date 1977, with 1920 indicated as the year of design. Two shawls, À Damiers and Blues, are also dated 1977 and designed in 1920. Other entries likewise distinguish the date of the object from that of its design: a dress textile entitled Panel is dated 1968 and designed in 1924/25; a furnishing textile with the same title is dated 1978 and designed in 1924. These entries record textiles intended for different functions, with distinct object and design dates.
This profile brings together identity references for Sonia Delaunay and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
25 references are documented at Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer, Dobiaschofsky, Genève Enchères, Germann, Kornfeld, Piguet. Each record links to its source; the amounts are not a general valuation of the artist’s work.
