SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Henri Laurens, a French sculptor born in 1885 and deceased in 1954, is represented in the Art Institute of Chicago entries by works spanning several decades of his career. The Pelicans (Les Pélican), dated 1921, and The Bunch of Grapes, dated 1928, are included in this selection. Lucius or the Donkey (Loukios ou L’Ane), from 1947, extends the chronological sequence.
The list also includes Tales (Contes), dated 1953, as well as Lying Woman, for which no date is given in the entry. These titles, recorded under Laurens’s name, provide documented reference points for the diversity of works associated with his career.
This profile brings together identity references for Henri Laurens and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
14 references are documented at Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer, DognyAuction, Genève Enchères, Kornfeld, Piguet, Germann, Schuler. Each record links to its source; the amounts are not a general valuation of the artist’s work.
