Giuseppe Santomaso

Born : 1907Died : 1990Documented citizenships : Italy

Giuseppe Santomaso (1907–1990), an Italian painter, is represented by works that offer distinct points of reference for approaching his work in terms of date, format and technique.

Finestra, painted in 1952, measures 130 × 75 cm. The work is listed at Museo MAGA in Gallarate, in inventory 041, as the property of the municipality, and also features in the resources of the permanent collection of the Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea “Silvio Zanella”.

An untitled work, dated around 1980, offers another insight into his practice: oil, gouache, pastel and collage are brought together on paper mounted on canvas, in a format of 56 × 61.5 cm. The work record notes a “Santomaso” signature at the lower right and another signature on the reverse. According to the same record, the work was acquired from Galerie Fröhlich on 12 January 1993 by a Swiss private collection.

This profile brings together identity references for Giuseppe Santomaso and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.

36 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.
