Erich Staub
Born in 1942.
The SIKART entry notes that his work is marked by the influence of traditional Appenzell painting, a formulation retained here as it is presented by that source.
On works offered for sale, the signature sometimes appears in the form “E. Staub”, and a monogram “ES” is also mentioned. Documented supports and formats include oil paintings on cardboard or wood (documented examples: 22.5 × 62 cm; 97 × 21.5 cm) and acrylic works on canvas, including a floral still life dated 1973.
In addition to his painting activity, SIKART mentions that he worked as an antiques dealer, a biographical detail noted in this entry. The presence of works by Erich Staub on the market is documented by numerous auction listings, with lots sold or offered by houses such as Auktionshaus Zofingen, Dobiaschofsky Auktionen AG, Schuler Auktionen, Blackwell Auctions and others. The sale notices list sellers based predominantly in Switzerland and the United States, according to the compiled data (distribution of sellers’ locations).
The principal biographical source consulted for this notice is the SIKART entry (identifier 4004076), which provides most of the chronological and descriptive information mentioned above.
