Hi. My name is Neal Schmidt and I live in Kansas City. I recently went to the Nelson-Atkins museum of art in Kansas City, Missouri. I found a painting, which was drawn by Yves Tanguy and I was very intrested in this artwork. When I tried to research more about himself and his artwork that I looked at the museum titled "At the Risk of the Sun" made in 1947, I found the site to open the picture of his artwork, but an error occured, which would oly mean one thing, not available. So, I was wondering if you could give me more information about it plus a picture of this artwork, "At the Risk of the Sun" I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks for your time. Sincerely, Neal Schmidt .24/06/2002

Bonjour, je cherche à télécharger une reproduction du tableau de Tanguy appelé "le questionnant". Pourriez-vous m'aider ? Je vous remercie. Loris Pedri -20/03/2002

Monsieur, Félicitations pour le très beau - et si instructif ! - site consacré au peintre Yves Tanguy. Travaillant actuellement à une exposition/publication rétrospective du Salon d'Automne (1903-2003), projet important soutenu par le ministère de la Culture, je suis à la recherche d'une oeuvre d'Yves Tanguy présentée au Salon d'Automne de 1944 (dit aussi "Salon de la Libération") dans le "Groupe Surréaliste" qui se composait, entre autres, de Brauner, Dominguez, Delvaux, Ernst, Magritte, Masson, Miro... et Picasso qui présentait quelques 79 oeuvres ! Yves Tanguy exposait deux oeuvres dont une est intitulée Le fonds de la tour (catalogue n° 1628). Mais qui pourra m'aider à retrouver la trace de l'autre tableau qui était nommé simplement "Peinture" ?
Vous remerciant à l'avance pour votre très précieuse collaboration, je vous prie d'agréer, Monsieur, l'assurance de ma haute considération,Noël Coret - 22/02/2002

In 1925 it says that Yves Marries Jeanne Ducroq. However there is no more mention of her or of their divorce. Yet even later on it says that he marries Kay Sage. Is there missing info. Did he never marry Jeanne? Write back Please. I am doin a power point presentation on him and I would like more info. thank you.BARRY M NIMTZ. 19/01/2002
Réponse = Tanguy divorce with Jeannette by marriage with Kay Sage in Reno in 1940 (august 17). It's difficult to explain in english. To marry in Reno (Nevada), it very easy but I dont know exactly the process.

I am wondering which Tanguy painting is in the book Flying Saucers by C.G. Jung, and which gallery/museum I might find it. It was painted in 1927. Can anyone help? Elisa tack - 19/11/2001

I´m searching for the film "esqisse tanguy" made by jose pierre and fabrice maze !! can somebody help me? best regards julian schäfer(23/02/2000).
Réponse =I saw video tape "Perspective Tanguy" by José Pierre at "Forum des Images" at Les Halles in Paris. Isn't it the same film? I think it is better to consult the data base of Forums de images on internet. I was also interested in "esquisse tanguy"and finally I concluded "Perspective Tanguy" is more or less the same one.
