Also known as
刘继卣, Liu, Jiyou, Liu, Gijoŭ
Liu Jiyou (1918–1983), recorded in Chinese as 刘继卣, was a painter whose identity is established by Wikidata and the VIAF authority cluster. VIAF links several international cataloguing forms, including “Liu, Jiyou” and “Liu, Gijoŭ,” helping distinguish the artist across library and auction records. The available Chinese-language biographical source gives the fuller dates 3 October 1918 to 5 November 1983 and describes him as a Chinese painter and lianhuanhua artist associated with Tianjin. Lianhuanhua are sequential picture books, placing narrative image-making alongside his Chinese-painting practice. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in records for paintings or illustrated narrative work, sometimes under different romanizations. The present source pack is strong on identity but thin on institutional biography, training, exhibitions, named series, and museum holdings, so those areas remain provisional pending better scholarly documentation.
Chinese paintingLianhuanhua, or sequential picture-book art
Common works and media
The source pack supports two broad areas of practice: Chinese painting and lianhuanhua, or sequential picture-book art. It does not identify particular subjects, named cycles, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or other media, and it provides no accessible lot-level breakdown of the auction records associated with the artist page. A work should therefore not be assigned to a more specific category from this profile alone; its materials, inscriptions, format, authorship, and catalogue history require object-level review.
Market and appraisal context
The collected sources establish a stable artist identity and point to an Appraisily auction-record page, but they do not expose individual auction-house cataloguing, sale dates, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, dimensions, or edition details. No price trend or category-specific valuation conclusion should be drawn from this identity research alone. For appraisal, first match the object to Liu Jiyou’s established authority forms, including 刘继卣 and the romanized forms clustered by VIAF. It should then be assessed against verified public lots of the same work type once the underlying records are available, while clearly separating confirmed authorship from attributed, inscribed, or otherwise uncertain identification.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Value drivers
- Correct artist-identity matching across Chinese and romanized authority forms
- Comparable public auction records matched to the same artist and work type, where underlying lot data are available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected Appraisily page response did not expose its underlying auction records, so auction categories, realized prices, sale dates, and price trends could not be verified from the source pack.
- No accessible major-auction-house catalogue entry was collected for this artist.
- The source pack does not support conclusions about provenance patterns, edition structure, condition sensitivity, scarcity, or subject-specific demand.
