## About Gérard Schlosser

Gérard Schlosser (1931–2022) was a French painter and draftsperson born in Lille, France. Active across the second half of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, Schlosser worked primarily in painting and drawing, with landscape and marine subjects forming the core of his output. He is recorded in the Bénézit Dictionnaire critique et documentaire des peintres, sculpteurs, dessinateurs et graveurs (1976 and 1999 editions) as well as the Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon, reflecting sustained scholarly attention. Schlosser's work appears regularly at auction, where his landscape and seascape compositions attract collector interest. His identity is documented across multiple authority files including the Getty Union List of Artist Names, VIAF, Wikidata, and the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History.

## Common works and media

Schlosser is documented as a painter and draftsperson specializing in landscape and marine subjects. Oil on canvas paintings of coastal and rural scenes are the most frequently encountered work type. Drawings and works on paper, including preparatory studies, may also appear. Collectors should note that the RKD holds visual documentation of his work, and his entries in Bénézit (vol. 9, 1976; vol. 12, 1999) and the Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon (vol. 9) provide additional reference for attribution and subject classification.

## Market and appraisal context

Works by Gérard Schlosser appear periodically at international auction, with landscape and marine paintings constituting the majority of lots encountered. Key factors in appraisal include medium (oil on canvas versus works on paper), dimensions, subject matter, condition, and provenance. The artist's listing in Bénézit and the Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon supports attributions, but collectors should verify authenticity through documented provenance. Comparable public auction results and sale dates should be reviewed for current market positioning.
