About Ossip Zadkine

Died

Nationality
French, Russian
Ossip Zadkine was a French sculptor, painter, and lithographer of Russian origin, active within the international modernist culture associated with the School of Paris. Museum and authority records identify him as a major twentieth-century artist whose practice extended across sculpture, painting, and works on paper. His auction and museum presence reflects a wide-ranging output rather than a single medium: collectors encounter carved and cast sculpture, paintings, lithographs, and related graphic works. Figurative subjects are especially visible in public collections, including female figures, torsos, dancers, and musicians. Zadkine's name can appear in records under variant forms, making authority identifiers useful when matching works and auction results. For appraisal research, the specific medium, date, scale, condition, provenance, attribution, and relation to documented examples are more informative than the artist name alone.

Common works and media
Auction and appraisal records may include sculptures in carved or cast media, paintings, lithographs, prints, drawings, and other works on paper, as well as editions and mixed-media or decorative works. Public collection records point to recurring figurative subjects such as seated women, torsos, dancers, musicians, and figures with guitars. Individual lots should be identified by medium, dimensions, date, signature, edition details, provenance, and catalogue references before being compared with other Zadkine works.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's public records show substantial auction activity for Ossip Zadkine across paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. A collector should compare like with like: medium, dimensions, date, career period, condition, restoration, signature or inscription, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and recent comparable sales can all affect interpretation. Subject matter and rarity may also matter, especially when comparing figurative sculptures or works with strong institutional documentation. Public auction results provide useful market evidence but do not replace authentication, condition review, or a specialist appraisal. Records may not capture every private sale or later attribution revision.
