Alfonso Sánchez Portela, Sánchez Portela, Alfonso, Alfonsito

Alfonso Sánchez Portela (1902–1990) was a Spanish photographer identified in authority records as a distinct twentieth-century creator. Reference sources also use the familiar name “Alfonsito.” The collected sources establish his lifespan, nationality, profession, and several controlled identifiers, but they do not support assigning him to a specific movement or photographic school. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with photographs and auction records. Careful name matching is important because catalogues may use accented and inverted forms, including Alfonso Sánchez Portela and Sánchez Portela, Alfonso. Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, and IdRef provide stable entity links that help consolidate these variant names. The current evidence does not yet document particular processes, recurring subjects, major series, institutional holdings, or a detailed exhibition history, so those aspects should be verified from the individual work and stronger collection records.

Photography

Common works and media

The evidence identifies Sánchez Portela as a photographer, so photographs are the supported common-work class for cataloguing and appraisal. The source pack does not establish whether market examples belong to a particular photographic process, subject category, series, or edition type. Those details should be taken from the individual object, its inscriptions, and its accompanying documentation.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin with secure creator identification and close examination of the photograph itself. The current source pack supports photographs as the relevant auction category, but it does not expose lot-level details about process, print date, dimensions, condition, inscriptions, provenance, edition status, or whether a print was produced during the photographer’s lifetime. Those characteristics should be documented before selecting comparables. Appraisily has an auction-record signal for this artist, but its public page was rate-limited during collection, so no price trend or typical realized value can be stated responsibly. When records are available, comparable lots should be reviewed by work type, attribution language, sale date, realized price, and object-specific characteristics rather than treating every photograph under the name as equivalent.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Photographs

Value drivers

  1. Secure creator identification across accented, unaccented, inverted, and familiar name forms
  2. The medium and photographic process documented for the individual work
  3. Comparison with available auction records specifically assigned to Alfonso Sánchez Portela

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected pack contains no accessible major-auction-house lot descriptions or realized-price details.
  • The Appraisily artist page was rate-limited during collection, preventing inspection of its individual auction records.
  • The sources do not establish particular photographic processes, editions, recurring subjects, series, or price trends.
