Also known as

Friedrich Arnold Stauffer

Fred Stauffer (1892–1980), also identified by the fuller name Friedrich Arnold Stauffer, was a Swiss painter, draftsman, and graphic artist. The available authority record establishes his Swiss identity and lifespan, while the collected German-language biographical record provides his full name and broader occupational description. Public artwork records document a 1952 oil-on-canvas portrait of Max Müller as well as the murals Sämann from 1939 and Ährenleserinnen from 1940. These examples connect Stauffer with portraiture and figurative scenes of agricultural labor, alongside his wider activity in drawing and graphic art. The present evidence does not establish a specific movement or school, so his work is more accurately described through nationality, media, and documented subjects than through a speculative stylistic label. Appraisily's collected input associates 238 auction records with his name, which is why collectors may encounter Stauffer across auction and appraisal research.

Common works and media

Documented work types include paintings, drawings, graphic art, and mural painting. The source pack specifically records an oil-on-canvas portrait of Max Müller and two murals depicting agricultural labor. These records support appraisal categories such as paintings, works on paper, graphic works, portraiture, and public-art documentation. The pack does not establish sculpture, ceramics, posters, or numbered print editions as characteristic parts of Stauffer's output.

Market and appraisal context

The current source pack associates 238 Appraisily auction records with Fred Stauffer, but it provides no accessible major-auction-house biography, realized-price history, or detailed lot notes. Comparable records should therefore be narrowed to works that align with his documented practice as a painter, draftsman, and graphic artist. Medium, subject, and date offer useful starting points: the evidence includes an oil portrait dated 1952 and public murals dated 1939 and 1940. The available material does not support a price trend, scarcity claim, or prediction. Conclusions beyond these documented points require object-specific evidence and the underlying auction records.

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack contains no accessible major-auction-house lot notes, realized-price evidence, or artist-specific market analysis.
  • The collected count of 238 Appraisily records may change as auction data is updated.
  • The available evidence does not support claims about price trends, scarcity, or future value.
