About Gerrit Benner

Born

1897

Died

1981

Nationality

Dutch

Gerrit Benner (1897–1981) was a Dutch painter, with an international authority record also identifying him as a draftsman. A collected German-language encyclopedia entry additionally describes him as a graphic artist and associates him with Expressionism in the Netherlands, although the present source pack lacks museum or scholarly confirmation for that movement label. Collectors may encounter Benner's name in connection with paintings, drawings, and graphic works. More specific statements about his subjects, named series, or artistic phases require stronger institutional documentation. Wikidata and VIAF agree on the 1897–1981 life span, but VIAF also displays a linked Getty form ending in 1983, apparently reflecting an authority-record discrepancy. Appraisily's public artist page indicates an established auction-record presence. Reliable entity matching should therefore combine Benner's full name, Dutch identity, life years, and stable authority identifiers rather than relying on the name alone.

Common works and media

Authority records support paintings and drawings as relevant work types for Gerrit Benner, while a collected encyclopedia entry also identifies graphic work. The current evidence does not reliably establish recurring subjects, named series, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or posters, so objects in those categories require additional artist-specific documentation before comparison.

Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports separating Benner's paintings, drawings, and graphic works when selecting auction comparables. Like-for-like records are more informative than combining every work attributed to the artist into one market view. Appraisily can examine sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those fields are available in its auction records. The present source pack, however, includes no detailed major-auction-house results or lot essays. It therefore cannot substantiate conclusions about price direction, rare subjects, preferred periods, or market premiums. Attribution and identity matching should use the authority-supported 1897–1981 life span while noting the isolated 1983 discrepancy in one linked authority form.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Drawings
  • Graphic works

Value drivers

  1. Work type and medium; paintings, drawings, and graphic works should be compared within like categories.
  2. Comparable public auction records, including sale dates and realized prices when those fields are available.

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected pack contains no major-auction-house lot essays or detailed sale-result excerpts, so it does not support claims about price trends, premium subjects, rarity, or a hierarchy of artistic periods.
  • The source pack does not establish specific subjects, named series, edition practices, or preferred supports.
  • A linked Getty authority form displayed by VIAF gives a conflicting death year of 1983, while Wikidata and VIAF's preferred heading support 1981.
