Artist context
About Hugh McIlfatrick
Born
1956
Hugh McIlfatrick is an artist born in 1956. Art UK maintains a public artist record for him, while Wikidata provides a stable entity identifier that helps distinguish his name across structured databases. Collectors may encounter McIlfatrick through public auction records, but the available source pack does not establish his nationality, training, movement affiliations, principal subjects, or a documented chronology of his career. Those details should therefore remain open rather than being inferred from auction classifications. Appraisily links the verified identity record to matched market data so users can compare works associated with the name while preserving the distinction between an artist identity, an auction-house attribution, and an authenticated work.
Common works and media
The collected market page groups matched records into broad categories including paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Because it also characterizes category concentration as broad or sparse, these labels should be used as auction-search groupings rather than a definitive statement about McIlfatrick's established media or artistic practice. For appraisal, the object's actual materials, technique, dimensions, inscriptions, edition status, condition, and attribution should be documented before selecting comparable lots.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's collected market snapshot reports matched Hugh McIlfatrick auction records dated from 2004 through 2018, including 147 records and 105 priced records. The observed results are useful as historical comparables, not as a price prediction for another object. A sound comparison should account for medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, attribution confidence, subject matter, and the similarity of recent public lots. Reported prices may also differ in their treatment of buyer's premiums and fees. Private transactions and incomplete auction feeds can leave important gaps, so direct examination and object-specific research remain necessary.

Appraisal caveats
- Public auction records are evidence inputs rather than a complete appraisal.
- Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, fees, and later attribution changes may not be represented consistently.
- Authentication and direct condition inspection can materially affect an appraisal.
- The collected market page reports broad or sparse category concentration, so its category labels should not be treated as a definitive catalogue of the artist's output.
