Also known as

Alicia Penalba, Penalba, Alicia

Alicia Perez Penalba (1913–1982), commonly catalogued as Alicia Penalba, was an Argentine sculptor whose reference records also identify her as a tapestry designer and weaver. European discovery sources place her within the broader field of postwar abstract art, although the collected source pack does not include a museum or scholarly movement classification strong enough to assign a formal school with high confidence. Her authority presence is well established: Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France link records for the artist. Collectors may therefore encounter her name in sculpture catalogues as well as in records connected with tapestry and textile practice. The distinction matters when identifying a work, researching its history, and selecting relevant comparisons. Some references describe her as Argentine-French, while the strongest concise identity records in this pack identify her as Argentine.

SculptureTapestryWeaving and textile work

Common works and media

Public authority records most clearly associate Penalba with sculpture. They also document tapestry design and weaving, so textile works may appear in cataloguing and appraisal research. The collected evidence does not safely establish particular sculptural materials, recurring subjects, named series, edition practices, or the relative auction frequency of these work types.

Market and appraisal context

Alicia Penalba’s documented work across sculpture, tapestry design, and weaving makes correct object classification the first market-research step. A sculptural work should be compared with sculpture records, while a textile work requires category-specific evidence. Appraisily’s artist page provides an auction-record entry point, but the collected pack contains no detailed auction-house lot essays, condition reports, or realized-price series from which to infer a price trend. An appraisal should therefore examine the individual object’s medium, dimensions, condition, provenance, production or casting details, attribution, and sale date, then compare it with closely related public auction records when those records are available.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Sculpture
  • Tapestry and textile works

Value drivers

  1. Work type and medium should be established before selecting comparable auction records, particularly because the artist is documented in both sculpture and textile practices
  2. Comparable public auction records should be matched by category and sale date rather than treating all works attributed to the artist as equivalent

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack contains no major-auction-house lot essays or detailed realized-price evidence, so it does not support price forecasts or market-trend claims.
  • Material, dimensions, condition, provenance, casting or production details, and attribution should be verified from the individual object and its documentation before appraisal.
  • The authority data does not establish that every textile-related reference represents a frequently traded auction category.
