About Alberto Dura
Born
1888
Died
1971
Nationality
Uruguayan
Alberto Dura is a name associated in the collected public sources with Uruguay and the years 1888–1971. The available identity records are not fully aligned: Wikidata and VIAF describe Alberto Dura as a Uruguayan writer, while Spanish Wikipedia identifies him as a Uruguayan painter. VIAF also records an affiliation with Uruguay’s Círculo de Bellas Artes. Collectors may encounter the name through auction records grouped under fine art, paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. However, the present evidence does not establish a documented movement, training history, principal medium, or recognized series. Biographical claims should therefore remain narrow, and any work attributed to Alberto Dura should be matched carefully to the correct person. Signatures, inscriptions, provenance, exhibition records, and catalogue references are particularly important when connecting an object to this identity.
Common works and media
The collected auction page groups matched records into broad categories: fine art and paintings; works on paper and prints; sculpture and mixed media; and decorative art and editions. These categories indicate how lots have been classified in the market index, but the source pack does not establish which media formed Alberto Dura’s documented core practice. Each object should therefore be assessed from its physical medium, signature, inscriptions, edition information, provenance, and supporting references rather than from the name match alone.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily’s collected market page reports matched public auction activity from 2017 through 2025, with 25 priced records among 42 listed records, a median realized result near $550, and an observed range from $20 to $5,000. These figures describe the collected record set and are not a price prediction. A useful comparison should match the work’s medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, provenance, signature or inscriptions, edition status, and attribution confidence. Because the identity sources disagree about Alberto Dura’s occupation, confirmation that a lot belongs to the intended artist is an additional valuation requirement. Private sales, missing feeds, reporting conventions, and later attribution changes can also limit comparisons.

Appraisal caveats
- Public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal.
- Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
- The collected identity sources conflict over whether Alberto Dura was primarily a writer or a painter, so name matching and attribution require additional verification.
- Authentication and condition can materially affect value, and reported auction totals may not use consistent treatment of buyer premiums and fees.
