About Ernesto Tatafiore

Ernesto Tatafiore portrait

Born

1943

Nationality

Italian

Ernesto Tatafiore is an Italian artist and painter born in 1943; international authority records also identify him as a sculptor. Public identity files from Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, IdRef, the Library of Congress, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France connect the same person across library and art-reference systems. The available source pack does not provide institution-grade evidence for a specific movement, school, signature subject, or named series, so this profile does not assign one. Collectors may encounter Tatafiore through paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture, mixed-media objects, and editions represented in matched auction records. Those records make his work relevant in appraisal contexts across several categories rather than one narrowly documented format. Identity matching should rely on the canonical authority identifiers and the name Ernesto Tatafiore, while conclusions about an individual object's date, medium, authorship, and place within his career require object-level evidence.

Common works and media

Matched auction records place Tatafiore's work in fine art and painting, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or edition categories. An appraisal should identify the object's exact medium and support, dimensions, date, signature or inscriptions, edition status, condition, and provenance before selecting comparable lots. The source pack does not establish recurring subjects or named series, so these should be documented from the individual work rather than assumed.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's matched public auction data spans 1998–2026 and includes 108 records, 63 with reported prices, but this dataset should be treated as a comparison pool rather than a valuation. For appraisal, prioritize close comparables in the same medium, size, date or career period, subject, and format. Then assess condition and restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references. Reported results may differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees, while private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. A defensible conclusion therefore depends on inspecting the specific work and comparing it with recent, genuinely similar public sales rather than applying an overall median or price range mechanically.

Appraisal caveats

  • Public auction records are a starting point rather than a complete appraisal; private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may be absent. Source: https://appraisily.com/artist/ernesto-tatafiore/
  • Reported auction totals may treat buyer premiums and fees differently, so comparisons should use consistent price definitions. Source: https://appraisily.com/artist/ernesto-tatafiore/
  • Condition, authentication, and later attribution changes can materially affect the relevance of a comparable result. Source: https://appraisily.com/artist/ernesto-tatafiore/
