Description
A unique work of art, probably made by Karel Appel (1921-2006), is now available in our gallery. Unlike a lithography or print, this is an original piece made with gouache. Although the work is not signed, we strongly suspect that it is by Karel Appel. It was found on the back of a work of art by George Comhaire, which does contain a signature, numbering and title. This rare opportunity offers you the opportunity to acquire an authentic work of art by Karel Appel, which is unsigned due to his spontaneous creative process rather than a printed production.
The artwork comes with a passe-partout and measures 35 x 31.5 cm.
Karel Appel (1921-2006) was a Dutch painter and sculptor, who was also a co-founder of the CoBrA art movement. His oeuvre is characterized by an expressive and colorful style. Appel started as an autodidact and soon developed a unique style, which he himself called the “Barbarian style”. In the 1950s he achieved international fame, with his works exhibited in renowned museums and galleries worldwide. In addition to painting and sculpture, Appel also created various monumental murals and sculptures. Karel Appel is considered one of the most influential Dutch artists of the 20th century.
