About Bobby Hill

Born

1933

Died

1984

Bobby Hill (1933–1984) is identified by Wikidata and VIAF as a Kiowa artist, while VIAF more specifically records his roles as painter and illustrator. Those authority records provide the clearest basis for distinguishing him from the many athletes and other public figures who share the same name. The available sources do not establish exact birth or death dates, a documented movement, or a reliable list of subjects or named series. Collectors may encounter works attributed to Hill through painting and illustration categories, but any auction record should be checked against the Kiowa artist's dates, medium, signature, provenance, and catalogue description before it is treated as a valid comparable. Appraisily's current name-matched index contains a substantial set of Bobby Hill records, yet the broad category spread and alternate matched names create an entity-resolution risk. This page therefore treats the authority-file identity as established while keeping work-level and market associations provisional.

PaintingIllustration

Common works and media

The strongest authority evidence supports paintings and illustration-related works. Appraisily's name-matched auction index also contains records assigned to works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions, but those broader categories have not been independently tied to the Kiowa artist in the collected identity sources. For appraisal, prioritize objects whose signatures, inscriptions, dates, provenance, and catalogue descriptions are consistent with Bobby Hill (1933–1984), and treat loosely matched or unusually categorized lots as provisional until the identity is resolved.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by confirming that a work belongs to the Kiowa painter and illustrator born in 1933, rather than another person or maker using the same name. Within Appraisily's matched auction data, results appear across paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture or mixed media, and decorative art or editions; that breadth warrants caution rather than a conclusion that Hill worked in every listed category. Relevant comparison factors include medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, subject matter, attribution confidence, and recent comparable sales. Public auction records are an evidence source, not a complete valuation: private transactions, reporting conventions, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may affect the picture.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Fine art and paintings
  • Works on paper and prints
  • Sculpture and mixed media
  • Decorative art and editions

Value drivers

  1. Medium, dimensions, date, and period within the artist's career
  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signature, inscriptions, edition details, and attribution confidence
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Comparable public auction sales for works with similar medium, size, date, condition, and attribution
  6. Subject matter, rarity, and current demand

Appraisal caveats

  • The highly ambiguous artist name makes work-level identity confirmation essential before using a recorded lot as a comparable.
  • The broad categories in the name-matched auction index have not all been independently associated with the Kiowa artist by the collected authority sources.
  • Public auction records are a starting point rather than a complete appraisal; private sales, incomplete feeds, reporting conventions, and attribution changes may not be represented.
  • Authentication, attribution, and condition can materially affect value.
