About John Peart
Born
1945
Died
2013
Nationality
Australian
John Peart (1945–2013) was an Australian painter associated with contemporary Australian art. Library authority records identify him as an Australian painter, while the available biographical source describes a career recognized by major Australian art prizes: he received the Wynne Prize in 1997 and the Sulman Prize in 2000 and was twice an Archibald Prize finalist. Collectors encounter Peart chiefly through paintings, although public auction indexing also places attributed works in broader groups such as works on paper, prints, mixed media, sculpture, and editions. Those category labels should be checked against the catalogue description and photographs for each object rather than treated as a definitive catalogue of his practice. His established authority identifiers help distinguish the artist from unrelated people who share the name John Peart, an important step when matching auction records, collection references, and prospective appraisal objects.

Common works and media
Auction records most commonly place John Peart material within fine art and paintings. The available market index also uses broader categories for works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because the supplied sources do not provide a detailed catalogue of media, subjects, or named series, these secondary categories should be treated as auction-index classifications rather than proof that every listed object belongs to a documented part of Peart's practice. For appraisal, verify the actual medium, support, dimensions, date, signature, inscriptions, edition status, condition, provenance, and attribution shown in the individual catalogue entry or on the object itself.
Market and appraisal context
A John Peart appraisal should begin with public sales of works that genuinely match the object in medium, dimensions, date, subject, and format. Condition, restoration, surface quality, signature or inscriptions, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and attribution confidence can all affect comparability. Edition information is also important for any print or other multiple. Appraisily's current artist page contains a substantial body of matched auction records, but record totals can vary by snapshot and matching scope. Public results remain only a starting point: private transactions may be absent, feeds may be incomplete, attribution can change, and reported prices may handle buyer premiums or fees differently. No price prediction should be made without examining the specific work and the closest available lots.

Appraisal caveats
- Public auction records are appraisal inputs rather than a complete valuation.
- Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may not appear in the available records.
- Reported results may treat buyer premiums and fees differently, so comparisons should use consistent price definitions.
- Broad auction-category labels do not by themselves establish the medium or authorship of an individual object.
