Summary:
In 1955 seventy-four original plasters recording sculptures by Edgar Degas (1834?1917) were moved to the old Valsuani foundry in Paris only to reappear in France in 2004. These plasters are now being published for the first time, presenting new documentary and physical evidence regarding their dating following an in-depth analysis into the condition of Degas?s waxes at the time of his death. Technical and documentary evidence now proves that as many as half of the serialized ?Hébrard? Degas bronzes now held in museum and private collections around the world were in fact cast at the Valsuani foundry in the 1950s and 1960s ? long after the Hébrard foundry closed in 1935/36. All of the now cleaned seventy-four Degas plasters are recorded in full color illustrations in this scholarly catalogue raisonné.0// 01955 wurden vierundsiebzig Gipsobjekte, die Skulpturen von Edgar Degas (1834-1917) zeigen, in die alte Gießerei Valsuani in Paris gebracht, um dort erst 2004 wieder entdeckt zu werden. Diese Arbeiten werden nun zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht, wobei neue dokumentarische und wissenschaftliche Beweise für ihre Datierung vorgelegt werden, nachdem der Zustand der Wachsformen von Degas zum Zeitpunkt seines Todes eingehend untersucht worden war. Technische und dokumentarische Beweise belegen nun, dass die Hälfte der seriellen Hébrard -Bronzen von Degas, die sich heute in Museen und Privatsammlungen auf der ganzen Welt befinden, in den 1950er- und 1960er-Jahren in der Gießerei Valsuani produziert wurden lange Zeit nach der Schließung der Gießerei Hébrard 1935/1936. Jedes der nun gereinigten vierundsiebzig Gipsobjekte von Degas ist in diesem wissenschaftlichen Werkverzeichnis ganzseitig in Farbe abgebildet.
