Artist context
About Anton Refregier
Born
1905
Died
1979
Nationality
American
Anton Refregier (1905–1979) was a Russian-born American artist identified in the available sources as a painter and muralist. Born in Moscow, he immigrated to the United States and became active in Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project commissions while also teaching art. Collected sources additionally describe illustration and design among his practices. No specific artistic movement is assigned here because the source pack does not provide sufficiently strong institutional evidence for one. Collectors may encounter paintings, mural-related material, illustrations, and designs rather than only completed architectural murals. His WPA activity is an important historical context for identifying and cataloging works, but it does not by itself establish authorship, date, or value. Appraisily's input data associates 173 auction-record entries with his name, providing a body of market evidence that should be evaluated through carefully matched work types, periods, and attributions.

Common works and media
Available sources support painting and mural work as central practices, with illustration and design also documented. Portable paintings, illustrations, designs, or material related to mural practice may enter appraisal contexts, although the source pack does not establish how frequently each type appears at auction. No recurring subject, print edition, sculpture, ceramic category, or other specialized body of work is asserted from the available evidence.
Market and appraisal context
The collected market evidence consists primarily of Appraisily's auction-price page and its input count of 173 records; the pack does not include fetched major-auction-house lot narratives or realized-price details. Appraisal should therefore begin by determining whether an object is a painting, mural-related work, illustration, or design and whether documented evidence connects it to Refregier's WPA activity. Comparable sales are most useful when the work type and historical period are genuinely similar. The current research supports identity and contextual matching, not a price forecast, category premium, or claim about market direction. Individual auction records should be reviewed before drawing conclusions about an object's value.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Paintings
- Mural-related works
- Illustrations and designs
Value drivers
- Work type and medium, particularly the distinction among paintings, mural-related works, illustrations, and designs
- Documented date or commission evidence connecting a work to Refregier's WPA Federal Art Project activity
- Comparable public auction records for closely related work types and periods
Appraisal caveats
- The source pack contains an Appraisily auction-price signal but no fetched major-auction-house lot descriptions, realized-price details, or category breakdown.
- No price trend, category premium, or scarcity claim can be supported from the collected evidence.
- Refregier's WPA association supplies historical context but does not independently establish the authorship, date, or value of an individual object.
