Andreou. Femme · Femmes: Peintures (Édition G. Giannoussis, 1997), unpaginated; caption: “DANSEUSES 130 x 114 1983”
| Bonhams, 24 April 2024, lot 151, Danseuses, 1983; auction-house description hosted by Invaluable. The illustration shows the same composition as the 1997 book reproduction. The listing describes oil on canvas, 130 × 97 cm, with a signature and date at the upper left and the title, date, and number 311 on the reverse. The dimensions differ from the 130 × 114 cm recorded in the 1997 caption; the discrepancy remains unresolved. The listing records the work in the retrospective Andreou, Peinture, Retrospective de 1950 à 1992 at the Vafopouleio Cultural Centre in Thessaloniki, 23 October–6 December 1992, and cites reproductions in the exhibition catalogue, p. 39, and in Andreou, Peinture 1956-1984 (Les Editions du Temps, Paris, 1984), no. 28. The relevant pages of those earlier catalogues have not been directly inspected for this record. Source: https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/constantin-andreou-1917-2007-danseuses-151-c-1f74d9a98c
