Also known as

Howard Chesner Behrens

Howard Behrens (1933–2014) was an American painter whose authority records appear in Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and the Library of Congress. Public biographical sources also describe him as a popular artist and identify his fuller name as Howard Chesner Behrens. Collectors may encounter his work as original art as well as limited- and open-edition images. Contemporary accounts summarized in the collected sources indicate that his work circulated through galleries and cruise-ship auctions, helping explain its presence in resale and appraisal settings. The available evidence securely establishes Behrens’s identity, nationality, life years, and occupation as a painter. It does not, however, provide institution-grade support for a particular movement, signature subject, named series, or detailed chronology. Those attributes should therefore be assessed from the individual object and stronger work-specific documentation rather than inferred from the artist’s name alone.

PaintingLimited and open editions

Common works and media

Authority data identifies Behrens as a painter, while public biographical sources report that collectors may encounter both original works and editioned images. Limited and open editions should not be treated as interchangeable with original paintings. The collected evidence does not securely identify particular subjects, techniques, edition sizes, or named series, so those details should be established from the object and its accompanying documentation.

Market and appraisal context

Howard Behrens market research should begin by determining whether an object is an original work, a limited edition, or an open edition, since the collected sources show that more than one type circulated publicly. Comparisons should remain within the same work and edition class whenever possible. Appraisily’s artist page is designed to organize auction records that may include sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots, but the present source pack contains no major-auction-house catalogue evidence supporting a general price trend. Artist identification should be checked against established authority records, while any conclusion about a particular object should remain tied to its own documentation and relevant public sales evidence.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Original works of art
  • Limited-edition works
  • Open-edition works

Value drivers

  1. Whether the object is an original work, a limited edition, or an open edition
  2. Comparison with relevant public auction records, including sale dates and realized prices when available
  3. Consistency of the identified artist with established authority records

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack contains no major-auction-house catalogue entry documenting particular works, estimates, or realized prices.
  • The available sources do not support a price trend, scarcity claim, or prediction of future value.
  • The source pack does not establish specific edition sizes, techniques, subjects, or named series.
