Œuvres sur papier

Nicolas de Staël

St Germain Space

The gallery is pleased to present an homage to Françoise de Staël who recently passed away. The exhibition features an important selection of works on paper by Nicolas de Staël on the occasion of the publication of the Catalogue Raisonné of his works on paper, published by Ides et Calendes.

This show follows on from the initial presentation of “23 drawings of Nicolas de Staël” in 1959 at the gallery, followed by a second exhibition in 1979: “123 drawings by Nicolas de Staël”. These two important events celebrated Jeanne Bucher’s talent of discoverer – who was the first to promote the young Staël. They also show the involvement of Jean-François Jaeger who relentlessly promoted the work of Nicolas de Staël and gave support to the young widow of the artist, Françoise de Staël. This new exhibition includes around sixty works and offers an insight into an aspect of Staël’s œuvre that remained confidential until now.
