BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST: George SPRIO (also known as SPIRO) (1909-1984) born in Warsaw, is a French Surrealist painter of Polish origin. Spiro was separated from his parents at a young age, then entrusted to his uncle in Vienna. In 1942 Spiro settled in Nice and then began a collaboration with manufacturers of children's furniture. His spare time was devoted to art. During World War II, Spiro served as a sergeant in the 21/XV battalion of the French army. After the death of his wife (killed in a concentration camp), he joined his brother who had emigrated to London. He first exhibited his gouaches at the Arcade Gallery in London. The success of the exhibition was immediate. From that moment, Spiro devoted himself entirely to art. In 1948, Spiro went to France and received the Muratore Prize at the Exposition de la Jeune Peinture. Numerous exhibitions were devoted to him in Paris (Galerie Drouant-David), Stockholm, Gothenburg (André Verdet), Bern, Basel, Berlin, Cannes, Nice, Montréal, Miami, and New York (Rudolphe Gallery). He enjoyed considerable success until the end of his life. He passed away in Nice in 1984.
Seller's Story
TO KNOW:
Professional gallery for nearly 20 years, we pay particular attention to the works shipped. Each shipment is carried out quickly, with secure and appropriate packaging.
Buyers commit to paying for their purchases within a maximum of 3 days.
For any request to consolidate lots, please do so before payment, via Catawiki, or by email: info@artdif.fr. We can generally group +/- 7 works per parcel from the same sale. Some lots or works of particular formats require adapted shipping. We therefore group as much as possible, but this is in no way an obligation; additional fees related to customs declarations, insurance, and packaging adaptation may be requested from you. The number of required parcels and the shipping costs depend on feasibility.
We do not offer any service beyond what is described or provided by Catawiki.
Regarding multiples (numbered or justified works), unless otherwise stated, the numbering or justification may differ from what is shown in the photo, due to stock management. The shipped copy remains identical in quality, condition, edition, and value.
Upon receipt, please check the parcel and the works in the presence of the carrier. Any damage must be reported immediately and noted with precise reservations on delivery. No claim can be accepted without formal reservations. A visibly damaged package should be refused to enable compensation.
