Amelia Peláez (1896–1968) was a Cuban painter and ceramicist associated with Cuba’s avant-garde generation. Her career sits within twentieth-century Cuban art, and her practice extended beyond painting into ceramics. That range matters to collectors because works may be catalogued under different media and under several forms of her name, including Amelia Peláez del Casal and the unaccented Amelia Pelaez. Museum and international authority profiles connect these name variants to the same artist, helping distinguish her from similarly named makers. In auction and appraisal settings, Peláez may therefore be encountered through more than one type of object, each requiring suitable medium-specific comparisons. The available sources establish her Cuban identity, lifespan, and work as a painter and ceramicist, but provide limited detail about individual subjects, series, or changes across her career. Those elements should be verified from the specific object, its documentation, and relevant scholarly or collection records.

Common works and media

Works associated with Amelia Peláez in the collected sources fall into two supported categories: paintings and ceramics. Cataloging should preserve the exact medium and normalize accented and unaccented versions of her name before records are compared. The source pack does not establish recurring subjects, named series, print editions, sculptures, posters, or drawings, so those classifications should not be assigned without object-specific evidence.

Market and appraisal context

A careful appraisal should first establish whether the object is a painting or ceramic work and confirm that its attribution belongs to Amelia Peláez rather than merely carrying a similar name. Relevant public auction records can then be compared by work type, sale date, and realized price when those details are available. Condition, provenance, date, and attribution should be examined at the object level before any comparable result is treated as meaningful. The collected identity sources support her principal media, but they do not provide lot-level market evidence or justify predictions about future prices, rarity, or demand.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Ceramics

Value drivers

  1. Medium and work type, particularly whether the object is a painting or a ceramic work
  2. Correct artist identification and normalization of accented, unaccented, and extended name forms before selecting comparable records
  3. Comparable public auction records, including sale date and realized price when those fields are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack does not include lot-level descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance records, or edition information.
  • No major-auction-house biography or market analysis was successfully collected, so no price trend, scarcity, or subject-premium claim is made.
  • Object-specific attribution, date, condition, provenance, and comparable-lot relevance require separate examination.
