How much are van Dongen paintings worth?
How much van Dongen paintings are worth will vary based on their size, historical significance, condition and other factors. In 2009, his oil on canvas painting Jeune Arabe established a new record selling price for the Dutch artist when it fetched more than $13.8 million at auction. Kees van Dongen had no formal training, but his distinctive style earned him a place amongst the most fashionable artists of his generation. He was particularly famous in Paris during the 1920s and ’30s and was best known for depicting the modern woman. At the beginning of his career, van Dongen painted dancers and cabaret girls. Eventually, he moved to a studio, where he would host parties and balls and painted society women. If you own a van Dongen painting, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can help you determine how much it may be worth. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Kees van Dongen art.
