After its creation in 1928, the painting “Les jours gigantesques” by René Magritte became part of the holdings of Galerie Le Centaure, which was run by Walter Schwarzenberg. In 1931, Schwarzenberg left Galerie Le Centaure with several works and opened Galerie Schwarzenberg. However, both galleries had to close between 1931 and 1932 and their holdings were auctioned off in 1932. As no works by Magritte were offered at any of the auctions, Claude Spaak presumably purchased the painting from the artist himself. Between 1932 and 1942, Spaak gave the work to his future wife Ruth Meredith Peters, who in turn sold it to Suzanne Bertouille, née Purnal, former wife of Paul Delvaux. The work remained in Bertouille’s collection until 1987. The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen purchased the painting “Les jours gigantesques” from Galerie Beyeler for its holdings in 1995. (English)
