About Jan Tarasin

Born

Died

2009

Nationality

Polish

Jan Tarasin (1926–2009) was a Polish painter and graphic artist associated with abstract art in the postwar Polish context. Born in Kalisz and later active in Warsaw, he worked across painting, graphic art, drawing, photography, and illustration. He also wrote essays and art theory and pursued a substantial academic career, serving as a professor and rector at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. This combination of studio practice, writing, and teaching places Tarasin within both the creative and intellectual life of Polish postwar art. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings as well as works on paper and other graphic material, so identifying the medium and technique is an important first step when researching an object. Museum and authority records, including profiles maintained by MoMA, Wikidata, Getty ULAN, and IdRef, help distinguish him from similarly named people and connect auction records to the correct artist entity.

Common works and media

Auction and appraisal research may encounter Jan Tarasin through paintings, graphic works, drawings, photographs, or illustrations. The available identity sources most consistently describe him as a painter and graphic artist, while broader biographical records also identify drawing and photography among his practices. The source pack does not establish named series, typical subjects, print edition sizes, or a reliable hierarchy among these work types.

Market and appraisal context

Public auction records indicate an established secondary-market presence for works attributed to Jan Tarasin, but the collected sources do not support a general price forecast. Appraisal should begin by identifying whether the object is a painting, graphic work, drawing, photograph, or illustration, because comparisons across different media may be misleading. Relevant evidence can include the work type, technique, sale date, realized price, and the availability of genuinely comparable lots in the same medium. The present source pack does not document particular series, edition practices, recurring subjects, or artist-specific condition concerns. Those details should therefore be established from the object itself and from fuller cataloguing before selecting comparables or drawing a valuation conclusion.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Graphic works and works on paper

Value drivers

  1. Medium and technique, including whether an object is a painting, graphic work, drawing, photograph, or illustration
  2. Work type and the relevance of comparable auction records for the same medium
  3. Recorded sale date and realized price when comparable public auction records are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack does not include a major auction-house biography or detailed lot descriptions, so no price trend or value range is asserted.
  • An appraisal requires examination of the specific object and cannot be inferred from the artist name or auction-record count alone.
  • The source pack does not establish particular recurring subjects, named series, edition practices, or artist-specific condition issues.
