[4] According to an invoice from Theodore Schempp, the painting had been in the collection of Mr. Adamidi, and was later owned by Galerie Alfred Poyet, from which Schempp acquired the work [invoice dated January 8, 1940, SLAM document files]. Theodore Schempp was an American art dealer, who worked with the French art dealer, Jacques Dubourg in the late forties and early fifties. Schempp did not have his own gallery, but sold works of art (usually small-size paintings) from Paris, Wisconsin, and New York [Ameline, Jean-Paul: "Nicolas de Staël." Paris: Centre Pompidou, 2003]. The catalogue raisonné supports most of this information, but erroneously indicates that Schempp acquired the painting from Buchholz Gallery in New York. (English)
