About Arthur Secunda

Arthur Secunda (1927–2022) was an American painter, printmaker, sculptor, and collagist whose career spanned more than seven decades. Born in New Jersey, he launched his exhibiting career in France with a solo show at the Galerie Lucien Gout in Montpellier in 1950. He lived and worked in Paris, Los Angeles, and later Scottsdale, Arizona, absorbing influences from both European and American postwar art circles. Secunda is recognized for the breadth of his material practice, which ranges from painting and printmaking to polyester assemblage, ceramics, and welded sculpture. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Library of Congress, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Honolulu Academy of Fine Arts, and the Detroit Institute of Arts, among other institutions.

Common works and media

Secunda’s output spans painting on canvas and paper, editioned prints (lithographs, screen prints, etchings), mixed-media collages, polyester assemblages, ceramic works, and welded metal sculpture. Prints are the most frequently encountered category in the secondary market. Collectors may also find exhibition posters and limited-edition portfolios. Subjects vary widely across his career, reflecting his international working life rather than a single thematic focus.

Market and appraisal context

Collectors encountering Arthur Secunda’s work at auction will most often find original prints (lithographs, serigraphs, and etchings), paintings, mixed-media compositions, and occasional ceramic or sculptural pieces. Value depends on medium, edition size, signature, date, provenance, and condition. Works with documented exhibition history or institutional provenance tied to his major museum collections tend to carry stronger market interest. Because Secunda was prolific across many techniques, careful attribution and verification of edition details are important steps in any appraisal.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Appraisal caveats

  • The artist's official website (secundastudios.com) is currently unreachable, which may limit access to catalogue raisonné or edition records.
  • No specific movement or school affiliation is documented in the available sources, making stylistic attribution less straightforward than for artists tied to named movements.
  • Market data should be corroborated with recent auction results, as the available source pack does not include specific realized prices.
