Catalogue

The Karel Appel Foundation hereby announces the online publication of its first volume of the Catalogue of Works by Karel Appel, encompassing the oeuvre’s latest period from 1990 to 2006. Subsequent volumes will follow in reverse chronological order and in keeping with the progress of the underpinning research. The Catalogue details the reproduction, description of physical characteristics, exhibition history and literature references, contextual information and related works of each painting created within the period, as well as ‘object painting’ (a denomination inclusive of assemblages, reliefs and three-dimensional works) and site-specific installation by Karel Appel, as far as available. Prints, multiples, textiles or theatre props are not included. Drawings are merely included as related to published works.

You can access the Catalogue of Works by Karel Appel through the Karel Appel Foundation's website, or directly here.
