## About Thanos Tsingos

Thanos Tsingos (1914–1965) was a Greek painter, scenographer, and architect. Library authority records consistently identify his life dates and professional roles, while the available Greek biography places his early career in architecture before his move abroad. It describes work in Brazil in 1947, followed by a long Paris period during which he concentrated on painting and stage design and established a theatre with his wife, actress Christina Tsingou. He returned to Athens in 1960. The biography associates Tsingos with Art Informel and characterizes his earlier painting through strong color and abstract composition. Flower paintings produced after the mid-1950s are the most clearly documented recurring subject in the collected material. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in connection with modern Greek painting, postwar Paris abstraction, and floral imagery. Individual objects still require work-level research because the available institutional sources establish his identity more firmly than they document his artistic chronology.

## Common works and media

The available sources identify Tsingos principally as a painter and also document his work in scenography. The collected biography describes strongly colored abstract compositions and flower paintings begun after 1955. This source pack does not document prints, sculpture, ceramics, numbered editions, posters, or particular painting supports, so those categories should not be attributed to him without additional work-specific evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s public artist page records an auction-market presence for Thanos Tsingos, but the collected source pack does not provide individual catalog entries, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, or provenance. The most supportable distinctions are between abstract compositions and flower paintings and between works associated with his Paris years and those made after his return to Athens. The available evidence does not establish that any subject or period commands a consistent premium. A defensible appraisal should therefore identify the object’s medium, subject, approximate date, and attribution, then evaluate its condition and provenance against genuinely comparable public auction records rather than relying on the artist name alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile distinguishes well-supported authority data from thinner biographical and market evidence.
