About Emanuel Romano

Also known as
Emanuel Glicen Romano, Emanuel Glicenstein, Emanuel Glicenstein Romano, Emmanuel Romano
Emanuel Romano (1897–1984), also catalogued as Emanuel Glicen Romano, Emanuel Glicenstein, and Emmanuel Romano, was an American painter and illustrator. Several international authority systems align these name forms with the same artist, making them useful when checking signatures, exhibition references, library records, and auction catalogues. IdRef identifies Romano as both a painter and illustrator and links him to a 1939 book illustration credit. The available institutional records provide a dependable identity framework but do not assign him to a specific movement, define a characteristic technique, or document recurring subjects. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in more than one context, including paintings, illustrated publications, and archival or bibliographic material. Appraisily treats the authority-linked forms as one artist entity while preserving the spelling variations that may appear in historical records and sale listings.
Common works and media
The verified authority records identify Romano as a painter and illustrator. Paintings are therefore the clearest supported work category, while illustrated publications and related bibliographic material may also carry his name. The collected evidence does not establish preferred painting media, recurring subjects, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or a named series, so those characteristics should be determined from the individual object and its documentation.
Market and appraisal context
An Emanuel Romano appraisal should begin by reconciling the signature or catalogue attribution with his documented Romano and Glicenstein name variants. Paintings should be distinguished from books, illustrations, and other bibliographic material associated with his work as an illustrator. Relevant public auction records can provide comparable context, but this source pack does not include accessible lot descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, or edition details. Each candidate comparison therefore requires individual review to confirm the artist identity and work type before it is treated as meaningful market evidence.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Paintings
- Illustrated and bibliographic works
Value drivers
- Correct identity and attribution across the Romano and Glicenstein name variants
- Whether the object is a painting or material connected with Romano's documented illustration work
- Comparison with relevant public auction records associated with the artist
Appraisal caveats
- The collected pack contains no accessible lot-level descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance records, or edition information.
- Authority records establish identity and occupations more securely than they establish the characteristics of works appearing at auction.
- Comparable records should be checked individually to ensure that similarly named artists or variant catalogue headings have not been conflated.
