Also known as
Aligi Sassù
Aligi Sassu (1912–2000) was an Italian painter and sculptor whose identity is established across international authority files and museum artist records. Bibliographic evidence documents an early Futurist phase in 1927–1929, while retrospective catalogues trace work from 1927 through the late 1990s. That record supports placing Sassu within twentieth-century Italian modern art without reducing his long career to a single movement. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed-media objects, decorative works, and editions. The breadth of those formats is also reflected in Appraisily's matched public-auction data. Because the market includes original works, multiples, and objects in different media, identification depends on more than a signature alone. Medium, date, dimensions, inscriptions, edition information, provenance, condition, and catalogue references all help place an object within the documented body of work and identify the most relevant auction comparisons.

Common works and media
Auction and appraisal contexts may include Sassu paintings, works on paper, prints, editions, sculpture, mixed-media works, and decorative objects. The source pack does not establish a dependable list of recurring subjects, so objects should be classified by medium, technique, date, dimensions, inscriptions, and edition status before selecting comparable sales.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's collected market page reports 510 matched records, including 259 priced records, across auction dates from 1994 to 2026. These records span several categories, so an artist-wide median should not replace like-for-like comparison. For appraisal, first separate paintings from works on paper, prints or editions, sculpture, mixed media, and decorative objects. Then compare medium, size, date, subject, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition details, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and attribution confidence. Recent public sales of closely comparable works are generally more informative than the overall observed range. Public auction feeds may omit private transactions, differ in fee treatment, or change after revised attribution and cataloguing.
