About David McLeod Martin

Born

1922

Nationality

Scottish

Also known as

David M. Martin, David Martin

David McLeod Martin, also represented in authority records as David M. Martin, is identified by Wikidata and VIAF as a Scottish painter born in 1922. VIAF connects this identity to a Library of Congress authority record and lists a publication titled David Martin paintings 1948–1999. That bibliographic reference indicates a sustained painting practice, but it does not establish a complete exhibition history or catalogue of works. The collected sources do not document a movement, school, preferred subjects, exact birth date, or death date, so those details should not be inferred. Collectors may encounter works attributed to Martin in auction databases: the Appraisily input associates this artist page with 212 records. Because the available biography is limited and the name is not unique, catalogue descriptions and authority-linked identity evidence should be checked before a work is confidently matched to this artist.

Painting

Common works and media

The available authority evidence supports paintings as the relevant work type. VIAF also records a publication concerning David Martin paintings from 1948–1999. The source pack does not provide enough object-level evidence to identify recurring subjects, named series, print editions, drawings, sculptures, or other media, so those categories should remain unassigned until stronger documentation is collected.

Market and appraisal context

The collected Appraisily input reports 212 auction records associated with this artist page, but the source pack does not expose lot-level descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, or auction-house attributions. The count therefore establishes that market records are associated with the name, not that every result belongs to the same person or is directly comparable. A defensible appraisal should first verify the artist identity and then use only records whose catalogue details can be reviewed. No price trend, typical value range, scarcity claim, or premium for a particular subject can be supported from this source pack alone.

Appraisal caveats

  • The Appraisily input associates 212 auction records with this artist page, but the collected source excerpt does not expose the underlying lot descriptions, realized prices, sale dates, or auction-house attributions.
  • The names David Martin and David M. Martin are potentially ambiguous; individual lots should be matched to the authority-linked Scottish painter before being treated as comparables.
  • The source pack does not support a price trend, typical value range, scarcity claim, or subject-specific market premium.
