The de Laszlo Archive Trust was set up to research, catalogue and administer the paintings and archive of Philip Alexius de László. This is the first time an authoritative assessment of Philip de László’s output has been made available online and I hope it proves to be a useful and accessible resource for all those interested in the artist. We anticipate that this website will evolve into a full record of de László’s life and work.

Forthcoming display at the National Portrait Gallery, London
We are delighted to announce that there will be a small but distinguished display of nine of de László’s finest portraits at the National Portrait Gallery, in London next year, opening on the 27th March and running for 6 months, until the 5th of September.  This will coincide with the completion of the indexing of the de László Archive (more than 15,000 letters, in some seven different languages, which are now in the Heinz Archive and Library). It has taken some 5 years for the catalogue raisonné team worldwide to index them over the internet from scanned facsimiles.  The National Portrait Gallery’s archive catalogue will be launched online shortly, together with a web-resource about the de Laszlo Archive that will include details of the collection, provide links to other sources of information and feature a selection of correspondence relating to portraits in the Gallery’s collection.

New biography
A new biography by Duff Hart-Davis (assisted by the catalogue raisonné’s  Senior Editor, Dr. Caroline Corbeau)is  to be published by Yale University Press in May 2010

The catalogue raisonné team is currently working with museum curators in Becej (formerly Ó-Becse) and Novi-Sad in Serbia, attempting to trace a number of de László earliest paintings in Serbia.

The Goose-Girl

We are also attempting to trace an early genre painting by Philip de László, The Goose Girl (1888), of which we have no photograph. We would be very grateful if anyone could give us some information about this important early work. To contact us click here
