Galerie Dresdnere, Montreal 

Private Collection, Toronto, 1959 


Galerie Dresdnere was established in Montreal in 1957 and moved to Toronto in the early 1960s. 

During those years, the gallery featured works by many artists who became prominent in the School of 

Paris following World War II. The gallery's owner, Simon Dresdnere, traveled often to Paris as well as to 

Barcelona to purchase works and arrange exhibitions for artists such as Bernard Buffet, Constantin 

Terechkovitch, Sayed Haider Raza, André Minaux and many others. This outstanding work by Antoni 

Clavé entered the Dresdnere inventory on June 12th, 1959 and was sold in October of that year. It was 

later acquired from that collector's estate.

VARIOUS ARTISTS 

Alechinsky / Calder / Miro / Riopelle 

limited edition album 


23 1/2 x 18 1/2 inches 59.7 x 47 centimeters 

Provenance: 

Exhibited: 

Literature: 


Pierre Alechinsky, Alexander Calder, Joan Miró and Jean-Paul Riopelle each produced an original 

lithograph for this limited edition album for the benefit of the Fondation de la Fédération internationale 

des Jeunesses musicales Marcel Cuvelier - René Nicoly. 

The lithographs by Alechinsky, Calder and Riopelle were printed by Ateliers Arte, Adrien Maeght in Paris, 

and the lithograph by Miró was printed by Damian Caud in Barcelona. 

As noted on the presentation page of the album, Alexander Calder was to sign his lithographs upon his 

return to the United States - however he passed away November 11, 1976, before he was able to sign 

them. Thus, the Calder lithograph is the only one unsigned in this album. 

The lithographs are included in the original hard cover linen presentation portfolio. 

Dimensions of each lithograph: 

Alechinsky: 13 1/4 x 18 1/2 inches 

Calder: 16 x 22 inches 

Miro: 13 1/4 x 18 1/4 inches 

Riopelle: 13 3/4 x 19 inches

VICTOR VASARELY 


Laika 

gouache and tempera on heavy card 

signed and on verso signed, titled, dated 1956 and inscribed "P24" 


Provenance: Imre Pan Mezei, Budapest, circa 1963 


Exhibited: 

Literature: Werner Spies, Vasarely, 1969, page 13, a similar work entitled Laika II reproduced 

page 41 

Before Victor Vasarely devoted himself to painting full time in 1944, he worked as a graphic designer. 

Revisiting his studies for textile designs from 1932, described by Werner Spies as “an interchange of 

plus forms and minus forms…and their uniform proliferation in every direction,” inspired Vasarely's Black 

& White period in the 1950s, most of which featured squares, circles and rhomboid shapes, as in Laika. 

The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Pierre Vasarely.
