About Charles Blondin
Born
1913
Died
1991
The available public source pack does not establish a secure biography for the auction-directory name Charles Blondin. Its strongest structured identity result is a Wikidata record giving the lifespan 1913–1991, but it supplies no corroborated nationality, occupation, artistic training, movement, exhibition history, or body of work. A same-name Wikipedia result instead describes the nineteenth-century French tightrope walker and acrobat known for performances at the Niagara Gorge. These records appear to concern different people and should not be merged. In particular, the acrobat’s biography and portrait cannot safely be assigned to the 1913–1991 entity. Collectors encountering this name in auction data should therefore verify each lot’s creator attribution, catalogue description, signature, dates, and provenance before treating it as evidence for a coherent artist market. Further institution-grade or auction-house documentation is needed to identify the artist confidently.
Common works and media
The collected sources do not identify paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, photographs, editions, or other work types that can be confidently attributed to the 1913–1991 Charles Blondin. Auction entries under this name require item-by-item review because they may refer to a creator, depict the famous tightrope walker, or concern historical performance material rather than works by one artist.
Market and appraisal context
The source pack does not expose enough lot-level evidence to characterize a market for Charles Blondin or support a price trend. Appraisal should begin by confirming which person the catalogue entry identifies, since a prominent historical acrobat shares the name. Once identity is established, the relevant evidence would include the work’s medium, dimensions, date, signature or inscription, condition, provenance, attribution language, and genuinely comparable public sales. Records depicting the acrobat, documents connected with his performances, and works created by a separate artist must not be combined into one market history. Any valuation should remain provisional until comparable lots can be reviewed individually.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Value drivers
- A secure identity match between the creator named on an offered work and the 1913–1991 Wikidata entity is essential because the collected sources also identify a different, historically prominent Charles Blondin.
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack does not provide accessible lot descriptions, realized prices, media, dimensions, signatures, condition reports, or provenance details.
- No artist-specific price trend or category-level market conclusion can be supported from the available evidence.
- Same-name records create a substantial risk of combining works, portraits, or biographical details belonging to different people.
