Nicolas de Staël
Born : 1914Died : 1955Documented citizenships : France
The works listed under the name Nicolas de Staël by the Art Institute of Chicago span several fields, from abstract compositions to the nude, as well as a work associated with the poetry of René Char. The cited titles and dates range from Abstract Composition (1945) and Composition (1946) to Poems by René Char (1951–52) and Large Nude (1953/54); they provide a few concrete reference points within an artistic trajectory, without constituting a complete inventory.
Another reference appears in the Italian catalogue of cultural heritage: Ciel à Honfleur is recorded there as a painting by De Stael Nicolas, dated to the third quarter of the 20th century. Institutional sources use several forms of the name, including “Nicolas De Staël” and “Nikola de Stal’”, reflecting variations in the transcription of his identity.
This profile brings together identity references for Nicolas de Staël and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
7 references are documented at Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer, Dobiaschofsky, DognyAuction, Koller, Kornfeld. Each record links to its source; the amounts are not a general valuation of the artist’s work.
