(I - against repression !!!

and talk against repression)

Yes?, As someone said - "then the war" ... There is still good in the queue for de Stael one less.: P

And will tell someone (preferably with pictures) than 50-s valuable 40-x? Why partial return to the objectivity is valued more than an abstraction?

Y de there they even had a segment of valuable time. In my opinion, just three years - 1952-1955. The most striking thing - an abstraction, in which is guessed Figurative. This is the zenith of fame, and then commit suicide.

Here is one of his best work:
PICTURE de stael.jpg Nicholas de Stael. Mediterranean. 1954. Oil on canvas. 96,5 x 146. Estimate: 0,7-1 million pounds. Sale price: 1.2936 million pounds, including commission. Lot 31. Sotheby's. 05/02/2004

In any case, here is information about de Stael.

Nicholas de Stael (Stal von Holstein), perhaps one of the most enigmatic artists of the Russian diaspora. In the West, he is considered a cult in Russia, few had heard of him. The son of assistant commandant of the fortress in 1919 by a miracle with his parents managed to flee the revolutionary Petrograd. Not fate, as a kaleidoscope: the early left an orphan, he served in the French Foreign Legion, returned from the war in France.

De Stael studied with Fernand Leger, exhibited, along with Kandinsky in occupied Paris, under the influence of Andrei Lansky turned to abstraction. In the 1950's came to see him succeed. His abstract expressionism (found where abstract means possible to create an allusion to the figurative imagery) began to buy, good buy. And in 1955, on the crest of glory, when seemingly everything is straightened, a 41-year-old de Stael was surprised the last time: he threw himself out the window of his studio.

Things that are created closer to the mid-1950, are the most valuable in the work of the artist. Today, their prices may be 2-3 million dollars.

  From an investment point of view of Nicholas de Stael valuable period - a desirable object for investment. Even the average statistics is impressive. Shareware $ 100 invested at the beginning of 2002 in the work of de Stael, by October 2006 turned into 242 dollars. This is a good indicator for the artist, whose works are expensive and there is no reason to consider them undervalued. Particularly successful mature abstractions de Stael art galleries on the market can cost 1,5-3 million dollars.

That is 29 times cheaper than Fresis Bacon.
At 8.5 times cheaper than Jeff Koons.
At 6 times cheaper than Jasper Johns.
And - to think that the humiliation is no limit - 2 times cheaper than Kabakov!


You understand: I absolutely, categorically disagreed with the assertion that "there is no reason to de Stael undervalued"

Well, pounced Just art in 2006, since then much water has flowed under the bridge. And much de Stael 3 million utek finally and irrevocably. In two years at least have doubled. Kabakov's work with the record de Stael could still "pobodatsya. But keep in mind that Kabakov registered so far only one such vyskokaya sale at auction - $ 6 million for a de Stael art galleries on the market is already an ordinary case. Qwerty, right? Progshnoz - prices for outstanding work in the short term can go up to 8-10 million dollars so that the de Stael could not survive. As for any decent artist.

De Stael I genuinely like, but compared with Bacon - not the eagle. Moreover, Bacon - artist of mass popularity, taken away on slogans, such as poppy as Warhol, Mondrian, Picasso, Haring. A de Stael - it's more fun for intellectuals. The name is not so loud.

I looked at the portraits de Stael published by LCR. However, in Pasternak like? Or think?
