Australian
Also known as
Henri Bastin
Henry Bastin, identified as Henri Bastin in Wikidata, was an Australian painter born in 1896 and deceased in 1979. The available authority links connect this identity with Getty ULAN, VIAF, and RKD profiles, although those records could not be inspected successfully during collection. Appraisily’s input associates the artist with 155 auction records, indicating that works attributed to this name recur in auction data. The present evidence supports describing Bastin as a painter, but it does not establish particular movements, schools, teachers, working locations, subjects, series, or specific painting media. Collectors should also account for the Henry and Henri name variants when matching signatures, catalogue entries, and sale records. More detailed institutional or scholarly documentation is needed before expanding the biography or assigning a stylistic classification.
Painting
Common works and media
Painting is the only work type supported by the collected identity evidence, which describes Bastin as a painter. The source pack does not establish whether works commonly encountered are oils, watercolors, gouaches, drawings, prints, or another medium, and it provides no reliable subject or series information. Individual auction records should be checked before assigning a more specific category.
Market and appraisal context
The collected source pack establishes a basic artist identity but does not provide usable lot-level market evidence. It therefore cannot support conclusions about preferred media, periods, subjects, price patterns, or the relative importance of condition, provenance, dimensions, and date for this artist. An appraisal should first confirm that a work is correctly associated with Henry or Henri Bastin, then examine the underlying auction records and comparable lots individually. Realized prices should be interpreted alongside each lot’s attribution language, physical characteristics, condition, provenance, sale date, and auction-house context when those details are available.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Appraisal caveats
- The source input associates this artist page with 155 auction records, but the collected pack contains no accessible lot descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, dimensions, or medium breakdowns.
- No artist-specific valuation factors or price trends can be substantiated from the collected evidence.
- Name matching requires care because the public input uses Henry Bastin while Wikidata identifies the artist as Henri Bastin.
