About Claude Conover

Born

1907

Died

1994

Nationality

American

Claude Conover (1907–1994) is identified by Wikidata and VIAF as an American artist. The available authority record connects his name with ceramic forms and pots, including works cataloged under the titles Ceramic Form, Pot, and Xitnac. The limited public source pack does not establish a movement, school, training history, studio location, or detailed chronology, so those points should not be inferred. Collectors are likely to encounter Conover through named ceramic objects and auction listings rather than through a fully documented institutional biography. This makes careful identity matching especially important: the artist's name, life dates, object type, inscriptions, and provenance should align before a market record is treated as comparable. Appraisily aggregates numerous public auction records for Conover, but the authority sources remain the firmer basis for his identity and life years.

Ceramics

Common works and media

The source pack most clearly supports ceramic forms and pots as work types associated with Claude Conover. VIAF connects his authority record with works titled Ceramic Form, Pot, and Xitnac. No reliable source in the pack establishes recurring motifs, named series, print editions, paintings, or sculptures, so those categories should not be presumed. In appraisal contexts, document dimensions, medium, surface quality, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, and provenance before comparing the object with similar ceramic lots.

Market and appraisal context

Claude Conover's market record should be read through closely matched ceramic comparables, not a single headline figure. Appraisily's collected page reports auction activity from 2001 through 2026, although record counts differ within the supplied materials and should be treated as changing coverage rather than a definitive catalogue. For appraisal, compare medium, size, date, condition, restoration, surface quality, signature or inscriptions, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, and recent sales of similar works. Auction results may include fees on different bases, while private sales and incomplete feeds may be missing. Authentication and physical inspection can therefore change conclusions drawn from database matches.

Appraisal caveats

Public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal; private sales and incomplete feeds may be absent (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/claude-conover/).
Reported auction totals may not be strictly comparable because buyer premiums or fees can be included on different bases (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/claude-conover/).
Authentication, attribution, and condition can materially affect value conclusions (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/claude-conover/).
