Avigdor Arikha (1929–2010) was a Romanian-born French-Israeli painter, printmaker, engraver, and art historian. A French-language biographical record identifies his birthplace as Rădăuți in Bukovina and describes him as a figurative artist; it records his death in Paris in 2010. His public identity is linked across Wikidata and authority records maintained by Getty, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and other national libraries, as well as artist profiles at MoMA, Tate, the British Museum, and the National Gallery of Art. These links help distinguish Arikha from similarly named makers and connect records for his visual art and scholarship. Collectors may encounter his name in relation to paintings and printed or engraved works. Appraisily's supplied artist-page input associates him with 683 auction records, indicating a meaningful body of public market material for comparison when detailed lot data are available.

Figurative artPaintingPrintmaking and engraving

Common works and media

Public identity sources describe Arikha as a painter, printmaker, and engraver. The most defensible common-work groupings for appraisal and auction research are therefore paintings and printed or engraved works. The supplied material does not establish particular subjects, named series, edition practices, preferred supports, or a reliable hierarchy among these categories, so those details should be verified from the object and fuller catalogue or sale records.

Market and appraisal context

Arikha's documented activity in both painting and printmaking makes medium the clearest supported starting point for market comparison. Paintings should be compared with paintings, while prints and engravings should be assessed against records for similar printed works. The supplied Appraisily input reports 683 auction records, but this research pack does not provide the individual sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, or provenance details needed to interpret those records. Accordingly, the record count shows the availability of market evidence rather than a price level or trend. Any appraisal should use verified, like-for-like public auction results and the documented characteristics of the specific object.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Prints and engravings

Value drivers

  1. Work type and medium, particularly the distinction between paintings and prints or engravings
  2. Comparable public auction records for works in the same medium

Appraisal caveats

  • The supplied source pack identifies a substantial auction-record count but contains no individual lot descriptions, realized prices, dimensions, conditions, provenance histories, or sale dates.
  • No price trend, price range, or category-performance conclusion can be supported from this source pack alone.
  • Institutional identity links are available, but several institutional pages returned rate-limit responses or were not fetched, limiting verification of detailed biographical and artistic claims.
