About Fritz Glarner

Born

1899

Died

1972

Nationality

Swiss, American

Fritz Glarner (1899–1972) was a Swiss-American painter associated with Concrete Art and geometric abstraction. Public authority data identifies him as a Swiss artist, while collected biographical summaries describe his broader Swiss-American identity and a connection to Piet Mondrian. These sources place Glarner within the history of rigorous abstract painting, although the available material does not provide enough accessible museum text to reconstruct a detailed chronology of works and exhibitions. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with paintings and the Concrete Art context. Stable records from Wikidata, Getty ULAN, the Library of Congress, VIAF, MoMA, and the National Gallery of Art help distinguish the artist from unrelated people, places, and objects carrying the Glarner name. Appraisily presents his market record with an evidence-first approach, separating confirmed identity information from work-specific conclusions that require object documentation and comparable sales.

Concrete ArtGeometric abstractionPainting

Common works and media

The collected biographical material identifies Glarner as a painter, so paintings are the only common work type supported with reasonable confidence. His documented association with Concrete Art and geometric abstraction provides a useful classification context. The source pack does not establish recurring subjects, named series, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, drawings, or posters, and those categories should not be assigned without work-specific evidence.

Market and appraisal context

Paintings are the clearest auction category supported by the collected sources, and Glarner's association with Concrete Art provides relevant art-historical context. The source pack confirms the existence of an Appraisily auction-price page but does not expose individual lot descriptions, sale dates, or realized prices. A responsible appraisal should therefore compare the object with documented works and genuinely similar public auction lots before drawing a value conclusion. Medium, dimensions, date, attribution, condition, provenance, and any edition information should be established from the work itself and its records. The available research does not support an artist-specific price trend or prediction.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings

Value drivers

  1. Work type and medium, with paintings as the clearest source-supported category
  2. Relationship of the work to Glarner's documented Concrete Art context
  3. Comparable public auction lots, sale dates, and realized prices when records are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack does not expose lot-level descriptions or realized-price data, so it does not support a price trend or value prediction.
  • The source pack does not establish artist-specific effects for condition, provenance, dimensions, subject matter, or date; these require examination of the object and comparable records.
  • Exact attribution, medium, date, edition status, and provenance should be verified from the individual work rather than inferred from the artist name.
