Artist context

About Hermann Richter

Appraisily’s records group auction lots under the name Hermann Richter, but the collected sources do not yet establish a single visual-artist identity behind that name. The Wikidata result in the source pack resolves through its sitelink to a German football player and therefore cannot support an artist biography. Two public-domain Wikimedia Commons files attribute oil-on-canvas genre scenes—an accordion musician and men playing cards—to a Hermann Richter, but they do not provide enough biographical context to confirm dates, nationality, training, or a connection to every indexed auction record. Collectors may encounter the name on paintings and on lots assigned to several broad auction categories. A matching name or signature should not, however, be treated as proof of authorship. Until a museum, library authority, catalogue, or other scholarly source disambiguates this artist, the page is best understood as a provisional name-based market index rather than a settled biography.

Common works and media

The clearest possible work examples in the collected sources are two oil-on-canvas genre scenes: a musician playing an accordion and a group of men playing cards. The Appraisily record index also assigns name-matched lots to broad categories including paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because the artist identity remains unresolved, those broader categories should not yet be presented as a verified catalogue of Hermann Richter’s practice.

Market and appraisal context

The public Appraisily page reports 535 name-matched records spanning 2015–2026, but only 10 priced records, with an observed range of $30 to $500. These figures require particular caution because the source pack does not prove that every record concerns one artist. A defensible appraisal should compare the object with lots sharing its medium, dimensions, subject, date, condition, provenance, signature characteristics, and attribution status. Edition information and restoration history may also matter where applicable. Public results should be compared on a consistent basis because reported totals can differ in their treatment of buyer’s premiums and fees. The available records are starting points for research, not authentication evidence or a price forecast.

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 period assigned in the auction catalogue
  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signature, inscriptions, edition information, and confidence in the attribution
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Comparable public auction results for works with closely matched characteristics
  6. Subject matter, rarity, and current market demand

Appraisal caveats

  • Treat name-matched auction records as provisional until the artist identity and attribution are independently disambiguated.
  • Do not infer authorship from a matching signature or artist name alone.
  • Public auction records are appraisal inputs rather than authentication evidence or definitive price predictions.
  • Private sales, incomplete feeds, attribution revisions, fees, and differing auction-house reporting practices may not be represented consistently.
