About Gordon King

Born

1939

Gordon King is an illustrator born in 1939, according to VIAF; Art UK independently catalogs an artist of the same name and birth year. The collected authority records link the name to stable identifiers in Wikidata, VIAF, and national-library systems, but they provide little biographical detail and do not establish a nationality, training history, or movement affiliation. Appraisily also has a substantial name-matched auction index for Gordon King, which is why collectors may encounter the name across paintings, works on paper, prints, and other catalog categories. Those records require care: Gordon King is a shared name, and the public source pack does not provide enough descriptive evidence to prove that every auction lot belongs to the illustrator born in 1939. A responsible appraisal should therefore pair the authority-file identity with work-by-work checks of signatures, dates, media, provenance, and catalog descriptions.

Common works and media

The collected auction page groups Gordon King records under fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. These are database categories rather than a verified catalogue of the illustrator's practice. For appraisal purposes, identify the actual medium, technique, support, dimensions, signature, date, and edition status of each object before selecting comparable works.

Market and appraisal context

Gordon King auction results should be compared at the individual-work level because the collected market index is based on name matching and covers several broad categories. Relevant appraisal factors include medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition or catalogue history, subject matter, attribution confidence, and recent comparable sales. Comparables are most useful when they closely resemble the property being assessed and can be confidently assigned to the same artist. Public results provide market evidence, but they do not replace physical examination, authentication research, or a qualified appraisal. Reported prices should also be checked for differences in currency, fees, and buyer's-premium treatment.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Fine art and paintings
  • Works on paper and prints
  • Sculpture and mixed media
  • Decorative art and editions

Value drivers

  1. Medium, dimensions, date, and the work's place within the artist's career
  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signature, inscriptions, edition details, and attribution confidence
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Subject matter, rarity, current demand, and recent comparable auction sales for similar works

Appraisal caveats

  • Verify that a matched lot belongs to the illustrator born in 1939 before treating it as a comparable.
  • Treat public auction results as appraisal inputs rather than a final valuation.
  • Compare like-for-like records and check whether reported prices include buyer's premium or other fees.
