Artist context
About Ger Lataster
Ger Lataster (1920–2012), born Gerard Lataster, was a Dutch painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and muralist associated with the post-war Art Informel movement in the Netherlands. Active across painting, sculpture, graphic art, and ceramics, Lataster developed a multidisciplinary practice that placed him among the notable figures of Dutch abstract art in the second half of the twentieth century. His work is held in institutional collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and he is documented extensively by the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History. Lataster also contributed to public art through large-scale wall paintings and served as an academy lecturer, influencing a generation of Dutch artists. Collectors encounter his work at auction primarily as paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptural objects that reflect the gestural, expressive vocabulary of European informal abstraction.

Common works and media
Collectors are most likely to encounter Lataster's oil and acrylic paintings on canvas, abstract works on paper including drawings and watercolors, editioned prints and graphic works, ceramic pieces, and smaller sculptures. Mural-scale wall paintings exist in public and architectural settings and are not typically sold at auction. His graphic output includes prints that appear with some frequency in the secondary market.
Market and appraisal context
Ger Lataster's auction profile spans paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, and ceramics. With over 300 recorded auction appearances, his work circulates regularly in the European post-war and modern art market. Key factors affecting appraisal include the specific medium, scale, and date of the work, whether it is a unique painting or an editioned print, provenance documented through institutional records, and condition. Works connected to his Art Informel period or large-scale murals may carry particular significance. Appraisals should reference comparable realized prices from recent auction records, as the collected sources did not include specific price data.
