About Emil Zbinden

Born

1908

Died

1991

Nationality

Swiss

Emil Zbinden (1908–1991) was a Swiss artist whose documented practices included drawing, xylography—woodcut image making—and painting. Authority data identifies him as an artist and draughtsperson, while the collected German-language biographical source describes him more specifically as a draughtsperson, woodcutter, and painter. These roles provide the clearest available framework for understanding his work: collectors may encounter works on paper, woodcut impressions, and paintings carrying his name. Appraisily's input records 210 auction entries for Zbinden, indicating a meaningful body of market material to examine, although the supplied source pack does not expose the individual lot descriptions or results. No well-supported movement, recurring subject, or named series was established from the collected evidence, so those classifications should remain open rather than be inferred.

DrawingWoodcut and xylographyPainting

Common works and media

Public identity sources describe Zbinden as a draughtsperson, xylographer or woodcutter, and painter. Auction and appraisal searches may therefore encounter drawings and other works on paper, woodcut or xylographic impressions, and paintings. The collected evidence does not establish recurring subjects, named series, edition practices, or a hierarchy among these work types.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's input indicates 210 indexed auction records associated with Emil Zbinden. The collected identity sources support separating potential comparables by work type and medium, especially among drawings, woodcuts or other xylographic prints, and paintings. When detailed records are available, sale date, realized price, and similarity of medium can help organize comparable lots. This source pack does not include the underlying lot descriptions, condition reports, dimensions, provenance, edition details, or price results, however. It therefore cannot support a price forecast, a market trend, or a claim that one category consistently commands more than another. Individual appraisal requires examination of the specific object and relevant comparable records.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Drawings
  • Woodcuts and xylographic prints
  • Paintings

Value drivers

  1. Work type and medium, particularly the distinction among drawings, woodcuts, and paintings
  2. Comparison with available public auction records by sale date and realized price

Appraisal caveats

  • The supplied input indicates 210 indexed auction records, but the collected source pack contains no lot-level descriptions or results from which to infer price trends.
  • No major-auction-house source was collected, so market-category assignments are based on the documented media and the existence of Appraisily auction records.
  • The source pack does not provide condition, provenance, dimensions, edition information, or detailed attribution evidence.
