Also known as
Tobias Eidesas
Théo Tobiasse (1927–2012), born Tobias Eidesas, was a French artist whose practice extended across painting, sculpture, engraving, drawing, illustration, lithography, ceramics, mosaic, and stained glass. Authority records consistently identify him as a painter and sculptor, while French library metadata also documents his work as an engraver, illustrator, and lithographer. His official site presents exile, family intimacy, memory, light, and spiritual searching as recurring concerns, expressed through images as well as worked materials. Because his output reached well beyond easel painting, collectors may encounter Tobiasse through unique works, works on paper, prints and editions, sculpture, or decorative and architectural media. His identity is established across Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, IdRef, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France, helping distinguish documented cataloguing references from name-only listings. No movement label is assigned here because the collected institutional sources do not provide a sufficiently supported classification.

Common works and media
Works encountered in appraisal and auction contexts may include paintings, drawings and other works on paper, engravings, lithographs and illustrated editions, sculpture, mixed-media objects, and ceramics. Tobiasse also worked in mosaic and stained glass, although the collected source pack does not establish how frequently those media appear at auction. Edition number, signature, inscriptions, dimensions, materials, condition, and supporting documentation should be recorded carefully for any submitted work.
Market and appraisal context
Théo Tobiasse has an extensive matched public-auction record covering paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative objects, and editions. A useful appraisal comparison should match the object by medium, dimensions, date, condition, subject, signature or inscriptions, edition details, provenance, and attribution confidence. A unique painting should not be evaluated directly against a print or edition without adjusting for differences in format and production. Recent comparable sales can provide market context, but reported prices may use different fee conventions. Public records also exclude some private transactions and may contain incomplete descriptions, so authentication, physical inspection, restoration history, and documentary provenance remain important.
