About Serge Férat

Nationality

Russian

Also known as

Sergueï Nikolaïevitch Yastrebzov, Serguei Nikolaïevitch Jastrebzov, Comte Serge Jastrebzoff, Roudniev

Serge Férat was the working name of Russian artist Sergueï Nikolaïevitch Yastrebzov, who became active in France and participated in the Parisian avant-garde. His exact birth year remains unsettled: public authorities report 1878, 1879, or 1881, although May 28 in Moscow is consistently associated with his birth. He died in Paris on October 13, 1958. Férat worked as a painter, printmaker, graphic artist, decorator, and stage designer. The Bibliothèque nationale de France identifies him as a Cubist painter and records his artistic direction of the second series of Les Soirées de Paris under the pseudonym Jean Cérusse. He also exhibited as Roudniev. His documented association with Cubism, literary publishing, theatrical design, and illustrations for Guillaume Apollinaire places his work within the interconnected visual and literary culture of early twentieth-century Paris. Collectors may consequently encounter his name on paintings, works on paper, prints, illustrations, and theatre-related designs.

Common works and media

Works associated with Serge Férat include paintings, prints, drawings, graphic compositions, illustrations, and designs connected with theatrical or decorative activity. His Cubist context is particularly relevant when examining early twentieth-century paintings and works on paper. Bibliographic records also document seven drawings used with Guillaume Apollinaire's Les mamelles de Tirésias. Auction listings may place objects in broader categories such as mixed media, sculpture, decorative art, or editions, but the medium and attribution of each object should be checked individually rather than inferred from a category label.

Market and appraisal context

A Serge Férat appraisal should begin by matching the object to public auction records for works with comparable medium, dimensions, date, subject, and attribution. Condition and restoration can be especially important for paintings and works on paper, while prints and other multiples require attention to edition information, inscriptions, and impressions. Signature style, provenance, exhibition history, and references in scholarly or exhibition catalogues can help establish identity and context. Appraisily's current market index places Férat across several broad categories, but those classifications should be verified against the individual lot. Public results do not capture every private transaction, and reported auction prices may differ in their treatment of premiums and fees, so no single recorded result should be treated as a definitive valuation.
