Renee Niklan Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1936 -

Renée Niklan lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland.

At the age of 23, she leaves her great bourgeoisie family background to study under Turkish master Sabri Berkel. In 1962 the vagaries of a very cosmopolitan life propels her into the fashion world where she will work for almost 20 years.

In 1983 however, Niklan's passion for art forcefully resurfaces. From that moment on, Renée Niklan never ceases to work every day in her Geneva studio or at her home in the south of France.

A very prolific artist, her works have been exhibited throughout Europe and the United States, and they appear in numerous public and private collections.
