Also known as
Elías Garralda Alzugaray, Garralda Alzugaray, Elías
Elías Garralda Alzugaray (1926–2012) was a Spanish painter associated primarily with landscape painting. Library authority records establish his full name and life years, while the collected biographies describe studies at the School of Arts and Crafts in Pamplona followed by training at the School of Fine Arts in Olot. Those accounts also report that he first exhibited in Barcelona at age 22. Garralda became associated with the Olot school, a regional landscape tradition, and another collected source also connects him with the Bidasoa school. His documented emphasis on landscapes, including work painted outdoors, explains why collectors are most likely to encounter his name on painted views rather than on unrelated genres. Because the available biographical detail comes largely from authority records and corroborating encyclopedia entries, specific claims about chronology, exhibitions, and school affiliations should be checked against catalogues or institutional archives when evaluating an important work.

Common works and media
Collectors are most likely to encounter paintings of landscapes, including views associated with plein-air practice and the regional landscape traditions of Olot and Bidasoa. The source pack does not establish recurring titled series, editioned prints, sculpture, ceramics, or other distinct bodies of work, so those categories should not be attributed to Garralda without object-specific evidence.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily’s collected directory signal associates 173 auction records with the artist’s name, but that count alone does not establish authorship, authenticity, or a price trend. For appraisal, the first task is to confirm that a work is attributable to Elías Garralda Alzugaray rather than to a similarly named artist. Landscape subject matter and consistency with his documented Olot-school context can help organize comparisons, although neither is conclusive by itself. When sufficiently detailed records are available, relevant comparisons should consider the work type, medium, date, dimensions, condition, provenance, attribution language, sale date, realized price, and similarity of subject. The present source pack contains no accessible major-auction-house analysis, so market conclusions should remain provisional until individual lots and their cataloguing are reviewed.

Value drivers

- Landscape subject matter and consistency with the documented Olot-school context
- Comparison with relevant public auction records, including sale dates and realized prices when those data are available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected auction-record count is a discovery signal and does not authenticate an individual work.
- No price trend or future value should be inferred from record count alone.
- The source pack contains no accessible major-auction-house biography or lot analysis for independent market corroboration.
