Armin Carl Hansen (1886–1957) was an American painter and etcher whose public identity records are consistent across Wikidata and VIAF. Secondary biographical material places him in San Francisco and describes him in the plein-air tradition, with a particular reputation for marine imagery from the Northern California coast. His recurring subjects include fishermen, boats, and the relationship between working people and the sea. Hansen’s practice included paintings and graphic work, especially etching. Authority files also connect catalog variants such as Armin Hansen and Armin C. Hansen to the same artist, which helps with entity matching across museum, library, and auction records. Secondary sources report training at the California School of Design and in Europe, plus election to the National Academy of Design. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter his work through maritime and California coastal subjects, while any individual object still requires work-specific evidence for attribution and comparison.

Common works and media

Commonly encountered categories supported by the collected sources are marine paintings and graphic works, particularly etchings. Biographical summaries emphasize the Northern California coast, fishermen, boats, and working life at sea. The source pack does not establish named series, edition sizes, favored supports, or a complete medium catalogue, so works outside these categories require object-specific research rather than assumption.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should distinguish Hansen’s paintings from his etchings and other graphic works, then compare like with like. His documented marine focus makes subject matter—particularly boats, fishermen, working life at sea, and Northern California coastal scenes—relevant when selecting comparable lots. The collected source pack identifies an Appraisily auction-record page but does not provide individual lot descriptions, sale dates, estimates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or attribution language. Those details must be checked in the underlying records before reaching a value conclusion. Authority-file name variants can help prevent missed catalog matches. This evidence does not support a price trend, scarcity claim, or forecast.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings, especially marine and California coastal subjects
  • Etchings and other graphic works

Value drivers

  1. Medium and work type, particularly whether the object is a painting or an etching
  2. Relationship of the subject to Hansen's documented marine, fishing, and Northern California coastal imagery
  3. Comparable public auction records, including sale date, realized price, and closely related work type, when underlying lot records are available

Appraisal caveats

  • Price trends, scarcity, and future values are not established by this research profile.
  • Confirm attribution, condition, dimensions, provenance, inscriptions, and any edition details from the specific object and its underlying sale records before reaching a value conclusion.
