Nationality

Mexican

David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896–1974) was a Mexican painter and muralist whose work helped define modern Mexican muralism. He is commonly associated with social realism and with large-scale public painting projects that addressed social and political subjects. Siqueiros also worked as a printmaker, draughtsman, and lithographer, so his surviving output extends beyond monumental murals to prints and works on paper. Museum and library records place him within the major 20th-century artistic histories of Mexico and document his presence in collections and research authorities internationally. Collectors may encounter Siqueiros through paintings, mural studies, prints, lithographs, drawings, and editions, with the significance of an individual work depending on its medium, date, scale, provenance, condition, and attribution.

Common works and media

Auction and appraisal contexts may include paintings and mural-related works, works on paper, drawings, prints, lithographs, editions, sculpture, mixed-media objects, and decorative-art items. The artist's association with public murals and social or political subject matter can be relevant when identifying a work, but each object should be evaluated independently. Medium, scale, date, condition, signature, edition details, provenance, and attribution are especially important when comparing a study, print, painting, or other work with public auction records.

Market and appraisal context

Siqueiros works appear in several auction categories, including paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. Appraisal depends on matching the work to appropriate comparable sales and confirming its medium, dimensions, date, period, condition, restoration history, signature or inscription, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references. Subject matter and rarity may also affect interest. Public auction results provide useful market evidence, but they do not establish a guaranteed value: private transactions, incomplete records, buyer premiums, authentication questions, and changes in attribution can materially affect interpretation.
