About Ira Moskowitz

Born

1912

Died

2001

Nationality

American

Ira Moskowitz (1912–2001) was an American artist documented by international authority files as a painter and printmaker. Bibliographic records also identify him as an engraver, lithographer, and illustrator, reflecting a practice that included both unique works and reproducible works on paper. The National Gallery of Art maintains an artist record for Moskowitz, while Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, IdRef, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France provide linked identity data useful for distinguishing him from other people with the same name. The collected sources do not securely assign Moskowitz to a named movement or establish a consistent subject specialty, so this profile avoids imposing either. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with paintings, prints, engravings, lithographs, illustrations, and other works on paper. Appraisily’s matched index also records public-auction activity, although identity matching and object-level attribution should be checked carefully for each work.

Common works and media

Authority records identify Moskowitz chiefly with painting and printmaking, with engraver, lithographer, and illustrator roles also documented. In appraisal contexts, relevant work types may therefore include paintings, prints, engravings, lithographs, illustrations, and other works on paper. No source in the collected pack establishes a signature subject, named series, or artistic movement, so an object-specific description should take precedence over generalized labels.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s public index groups Moskowitz results across fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. These labels are broad, and the current index reports a potentially unrelated matched name, so category and artist attribution require lot-level review. Useful comparisons align medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition details, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, and confidence in attribution. Recent sales of genuinely comparable works are more informative than an overall median. Reported prices may differ in fee treatment, while private sales and incomplete feeds may not appear. A formal valuation should therefore confirm authorship and condition before interpreting public records.

Appraisal caveats

  • The public auction index is a starting point rather than a final appraisal; private sales, incomplete feeds, and attribution changes may not be represented (https://appraisily.com/artist/ira-moskowitz/).
  • The current index reports matched names including “ida moskowitz,” so individual lots should be checked for identity and attribution before they are used as comparables (https://appraisily.com/artist/ira-moskowitz/).
  • Reported auction totals may differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees, making like-for-like comparison important (https://appraisily.com/artist/ira-moskowitz/).
