Artist context

About Cedric Hartman

Born

1929

Nationality

American

Cedric Hartman is an American artist and designer born in 1929, recognized for lamps and other interior furnishings. Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and a Museum of Modern Art artist record provide stable identifiers for matching his name across collections and reference systems. The collected sources do not identify a formal movement, school, or documented series, so his work is best discussed in the context of American design and decorative furnishings rather than assigned to an unsupported movement. Collectors are most likely to encounter Hartman's name in connection with lighting and interior objects, alongside auction records organized under broader decorative-art categories. Appraisily's public index contains matched auction activity spanning 2003 through 2026, although its category concentration is described as broad or sparse. Precise identification of the object, dimensions, date, condition, marks, provenance, and attribution is therefore important when evaluating a work associated with Hartman.

Lamps and lighting designInterior furnishings

Common works and media

Public identity material specifically associates Cedric Hartman with lamps and other interior furnishings. These design objects are the best-supported work types in the collected source pack. Appraisily also places matched auction records within broad decorative-art and edition categories, but the available sources do not establish a complete list of models, materials, editions, subjects, or named series. Any proposed identification should be checked against the object's construction, dimensions, markings, date, condition, provenance, and documented comparables.

Market and appraisal context

Cedric Hartman auction results should be compared with objects that are genuinely similar in type, medium, dimensions, date, and condition. Signatures or inscriptions, edition information, attribution confidence, restoration history, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can also affect the usefulness of a comparable sale. Appraisily's public index provides an aggregate record of matched auction activity, but its broad category labels do not establish a complete catalogue of Hartman's designs. Public results may also omit private transactions or reflect later changes in attribution. A defensible appraisal should therefore examine the individual object and use several closely matched, date-specific public sales rather than applying an overall artist median mechanically.

Appraisal caveats

Appraisily describes the available auction-category concentration as broad or sparse, so broad category labels should not be treated as a precise catalogue of Hartman's work. Source: https://appraisily.com/artist/cedric-hartman/
