Also known as

Diego Rivera

The available evidence identifies this record as Diego Rivera (1886–1957), described in Wikimedia Commons metadata as a Mexican painter, muralist, and political figure. The research pack does not include a museum biography, authority file, estate record, or encyclopedia entry, so finer biographical details and formal movement labels remain unconfirmed here. In auction and appraisal settings, collectors may encounter Rivera’s name across broad categories that include fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Those categories come from Appraisily’s matched auction index and should not be read as a catalogue raisonné of accepted works. Because the identity evidence is unusually thin for such a prominent name, attribution, title, date, medium, and provenance should be checked against authoritative scholarship before a work is represented as authentic.

Common works and media

The supplied auction page groups matched records into fine art and paintings; works on paper and prints; sculpture and mixed media; and decorative art and editions. These are broad marketplace classifications, not confirmation that every indexed lot is an accepted Rivera work. Analysis should begin with the specific object by establishing its medium, support, dimensions, date, signature or inscriptions, edition status where applicable, condition, provenance, and any catalogue or exhibition references before selecting comparable sales.

Market and appraisal context

The supplied index contains internally inconsistent coverage figures—35 tracked lots versus 26 records, including 21 priced records—so its reported median near $48,000 and observed range from $225 to $623,400 should be treated as provisional summaries rather than definitive benchmarks. Appraisal comparisons should align medium, dimensions, date and career period, condition and restoration history, signature or inscriptions, edition details, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition and catalogue history, and subject matter. Public auction results can help frame comparison, but private sales, incomplete feeds, inconsistent fee treatment, and later attribution changes may not be represented. Authentication and condition can materially alter any conclusion.

Appraisal caveats

  • The supplied Appraisily excerpt gives inconsistent coverage figures: it mentions 35 tracked lots but separately reports 26 records, of which 21 are priced.
  • The excerpt reports a latest sale dated 2025-05-14 while also describing the auction-date range as 2007–2023.
  • Public auction results are starting points rather than final appraisals; private sales and incomplete feeds may not be represented.
  • Reported totals may include buyer premiums or fees, so comparable records should be checked for consistent price treatment.
