Artist context
About Manolo Millares
Manolo Millares (born Manuel Millares Sall, 1926–1972) was a Spanish painter and draftsperson born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and later active in Madrid. He is recognized as a significant figure in post-war Spanish art, working primarily in painting and works on paper. Millares died in Madrid at the age of 46. His work is held in major international museum collections including the Tate in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The artist's relatively short career has contributed to a focused and sought-after body of work that continues to circulate in auction markets and scholarly contexts.

Common works and media
Millares is known primarily as a painter and draftsperson. Works encountered at auction or in private collections typically include paintings on canvas, works on paper, and drawings. Collectors may also find prints and mixed-media works. Medium, dimensions, date, condition, and provenance details are key factors in identifying and valuing individual pieces.
Market and appraisal context
Millares's work appears regularly at auction, with over 300 recorded lots. His presence in the collections of institutions such as Tate and MoMA provides a baseline of scholarly and market credibility. Collectors considering a Millares work should evaluate medium, date, provenance, condition, and whether the piece is documented in the artist's catalogue. His death at 46 means his total output is limited, which can influence availability. As with any post-war European artist, authentication and expert review are recommended before purchase or appraisal.
