Also known as
Ceferí Olivé, Ceferí Olivé Cabré, Ceferino Olivé
Ceferino Olive is a market spelling for Ceferí Olivé Cabré (1907–1995), a Spanish painter identified in Catalan-language sources as Catalan. Authority files at Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty align his name variants and life years, helping distinguish him from similarly named people. Public biographical material most consistently characterizes Olivé as a painter associated with watercolor; the collected sources do not establish a named modern-art movement or a reliable list of recurring subjects. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter his name on watercolors and other works on paper, as well as in broader painting categories and catalogues using accented or unaccented forms of the surname. His public auction record extends across multiple years, but the available source pack is much stronger on identity than on career chronology, exhibitions, critical reception, or distinct periods. Attribution should consequently begin with the object itself—its medium, signature or inscriptions, date, condition, and documented ownership—rather than assumptions based only on a name match.
WatercolorPainting
Common works and media
Watercolor is the most strongly documented medium associated with Ceferí Olivé. Auction searches may also surface paintings, works on paper, and prints under broad category labels, but the collected sources do not establish a dependable body of sculpture, editions, ceramics, or mixed-media work. Recurring subjects and named series are not documented well enough here to characterize them. Searches should account for accented and unaccented versions of both the artist’s given name and surname.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily’s public index places Ceferino Olive in fine-art and painting and works-on-paper and print auction categories. For appraisal, the most useful comparisons are lots matching medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, signature or inscriptions, attribution level, and provenance. Exhibition or catalogue references can add context when documented. Public auction results should be compared like for like because reported totals may handle buyer premiums and fees differently, while private transactions may be absent. The collected page reports auction activity but presents differing record totals across its sections, so its statistics should be treated as a snapshot rather than a complete catalogue. No single median or isolated result supports a price prediction for another work; direct inspection, authentication evidence, and current comparable sales remain necessary.

Appraisal caveats
- Appraisily notes that public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal and may omit private sales, incomplete feeds, or attribution changes (https://appraisily.com/artist/ceferino-olive/).
- Reported auction totals may include buyer premiums or fees under differing conventions, so comparisons should be made on a like-for-like basis (https://appraisily.com/artist/ceferino-olive/).
- Authentication and condition can materially affect an appraisal and cannot be established from an artist-name match alone (https://appraisily.com/artist/ceferino-olive/).
