Artist context
About Cornelia Schleime
Born
1953
Nationality
German
Cornelia Schleime is a German artist born in 1953 in East Berlin. Public biographical sources describe her as a painter, performer, filmmaker, and author, reflecting a practice that crosses image-making, action, moving image, and text. She studied painting and graphic arts at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and became associated with the underground art scene of the German Democratic Republic. That context is important for understanding her career, although the supplied sources do not establish a single formal movement label, definitive series chronology, or recurring subject list. Collectors may encounter her name in connection with paintings as well as materials related to performance and film. Because her practice is interdisciplinary, research should begin by identifying exactly what kind of object is present and whether it is an original work, an edition, or documentation. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and other institutions help distinguish her from similarly named people.

Common works and media
The source pack directly identifies Schleime with painting, performance, filmmaking, and authorship, and records training in painting and graphic arts. Paintings are therefore the clearest supported auction category. Paper-based graphic works or objects presented as performance or film material should be classified cautiously because the collected excerpts do not establish their frequency, edition practices, or market treatment. No recurring subjects, named series, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or specific print categories are confirmed by the available evidence.
Market and appraisal context
The supplied pack confirms an auction-record context but does not provide lot-level descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, edition details, or a category breakdown. A responsible appraisal should therefore avoid general price claims. The first comparison step is to classify the object—such as a painting, graphic work, or material connected with performance or film—and then locate public auction records for genuinely comparable works when available. Sale date and auction-house attribution should be read alongside the recorded medium and object type. Dimensions, condition, provenance, subject, date, and edition status require evidence from the individual object and relevant comparable lots. Results from unlike categories should not be treated as interchangeable. This profile supplies identity context, not authentication or a price guarantee.

Appraisal caveats
- The supplied source pack contains no lot-level descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance records, edition information, or category breakdown.
- No artist-specific price trend, subject premium, scarcity claim, or ranking among media can be supported from this source pack.
- Materials associated with performance or film should not be treated as ordinary marketable artworks without first determining whether the object is an original work, an edition, or documentation.
