A co-founder of the CoBrA movement, Karel Appel is one of the most celebrated Dutch artists of the 20th century.
His gestural, expressive style bridged abstraction and figuration, channeling raw vitality into color and form. Appel’s career unfolded between Paris and New York, with early support from figures like Michel Tapié and Willem Sandberg. His works are represented in leading museums, including the Guggenheim Museum (New York), the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), and the Centre Pompidou (Paris).
