About Albert Urban

Born

1909

Died

1959

Nationality

German

Albert Urban (1909–1959) is identified in the collected authority data as a German painter. His identity is connected to stable records at Getty ULAN, VIAF, MoMA, RKD, and the National Gallery of Art, helping distinguish him from people or places that share the same name. The available source excerpts do not establish a particular movement, school, preferred technique, subject range, or named series, so those details should not be inferred. On the evidence currently available, paintings are the only defensible common work category. For entity matching, the strongest signals are Urban’s name, life years, German nationality, occupation as a painter, and identifiers maintained by several cultural institutions. Further museum, archival, or catalogue research is needed before adding a fuller account of his training, exhibitions, career, or stylistic development.

Painting

Common works and media

The source pack identifies Albert Urban as a painter, so paintings are the only common work type that can presently be stated with reasonable confidence. It supplies no reliable evidence for particular painting techniques, prints, drawings, sculptures, editions, recurring subjects, or named series. Auction catalogue descriptions should be reviewed before assigning a more specific category to an individual work.

Market and appraisal context

The current source pack supports identity matching and indicates that Appraisily has auction records associated with Albert Urban, but the collected excerpt does not expose individual lot descriptions or results. An appraisal should therefore first confirm that a work is associated with the same German painter identified by the authority records. Comparable lots should be evaluated only when their catalogue attribution and sale data are available; this profile does not support a price forecast or a claim about market direction. More detailed conclusions require review of the underlying auction entries, including sale dates and realized prices, rather than reliance on the artist’s name alone.

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack does not provide lot-level descriptions, sale dates, or realized prices.
  • No specific movement, school, technique, subject range, or named series is established by the readable source excerpts.
  • The available evidence does not support price predictions, scarcity claims, or conclusions about market direction.
