Artist context
About Ken Currie
Born
1960
Nationality
Scottish
Ken Currie, born in 1960, is a Scottish artist best known for figurative painting and portraiture. Accounts of his early career associate him with the New Glasgow Boys, a group connected with renewed attention to figurative painting in Glasgow during the 1980s. Currie’s identity is supported by Tate and several international authority records, including Wikidata and Getty ULAN, helping distinguish him from other people with the same surname. Collectors are most likely to encounter his work described broadly as paintings, figurative compositions, or portraits. These labels should not be treated as a complete catalogue of his practice: the collected sources do not document individual works, techniques, dimensions, exhibitions, or a detailed chronology sufficiently to support narrower claims. When researching an object, its attribution, date, medium, title, and relationship to documented examples should therefore be established from object-specific evidence and reliable cataloguing rather than inferred from the artist’s general profile.

Common works and media
The available sources chiefly identify Currie with paintings, especially figurative works and portraits. They do not provide enough evidence to characterize prints, drawings, sculpture, editions, ceramics, posters, or named series as common parts of his auction market. Any work outside the documented painting and portrait categories requires object-specific research.
Market and appraisal context
The supplied Appraisily input associates 175 auction records with Ken Currie, indicating a body of public-market data that may support object-level comparison. That record count is not evidence of a particular price level or trend. The collected source pack does not include lot descriptions or results from a major auction house, so it cannot support claims about record prices, scarcity, or premiums for particular periods or media. Market research should first confirm that the object is correctly attributed to the Scottish artist born in 1960 and determine whether it belongs to the broadly documented categories of figurative painting or portraiture. Relevant auction records can then be compared by work type, sale date, realized price, and other disclosed lot characteristics.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Figurative paintings
- Portraits
Value drivers
- Correct identification and attribution to the Scottish artist born in 1960
- Object-level comparison with documented auction records, including sale date, realized price, work type, and comparable lots when available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack contains no public major-auction-house biography or lot-level excerpt, so it does not support conclusions about price trends, medium premiums, scarcity, or record prices; the available auction-record context is the Appraisily artist page at https://appraisily.com/artist/ken-currie/.
- The available sources identify broad practices such as figurative painting and portraiture but do not establish a complete catalogue of media, subjects, series, or editions.
