About Ken Hamilton

Born

1956

Ken Hamilton is a painter born in 1956, identified by Wikidata and indexed by Art UK as Hamilton, Ken, b.1956. The available institutional record establishes a basic identity but does not document his nationality, education, movement, stylistic development, or named bodies of work. Collectors may encounter the name through paintings and through auction listings assigned to broader categories, including works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. Those category labels should be treated as record classifications rather than a definitive catalogue of Hamilton's practice. Appraisily's current public page reports matched auction activity from 2003 to 2026, but the common name makes artist-level matching especially important before drawing conclusions. Signatures, dates, inscriptions, provenance, and comparison with securely identified works are therefore central to separating this artist's work from objects by other people named Ken Hamilton.

Common works and media

The collected auction data places Ken Hamilton most often within fine art and painting, while also assigning records to works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. The source pack does not provide enough object-level evidence to confirm that every category represents an established part of the painter's oeuvre. For appraisal purposes, determine the actual medium, support, dimensions, date, signature or inscription, edition status, and provenance of the object before selecting comparable lots.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public market index reports 143 matched records, including 78 priced records, across auction dates from 2003 to 2026. It gives an observed range of $80 to $14,000 and a median realized result near $1,900. These figures describe the collected records rather than a forecast for an individual object. A useful appraisal comparison should align medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, provenance, attribution confidence, and, where relevant, edition information. Because Ken Hamilton is a potentially ambiguous name and the source pack contains only limited biographical evidence, each comparable should also be checked for identity consistency. Buyer-premium treatment, restoration, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may further limit direct price comparisons.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Fine art and paintings
  • Works on paper and prints
  • Sculpture and mixed media
  • Decorative art and editions

Value drivers

  1. Medium, dimensions, date, and period within the artist's career
  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signature, inscriptions, edition information, and attribution confidence
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Recent public-auction results for closely comparable works
  6. Subject matter, rarity, and current market demand

Appraisal caveats

  • Verify that every proposed comparable concerns the same Ken Hamilton before using it in an appraisal.
  • Treat broad auction-category labels as provisional classifications, not as a definitive catalogue of the artist's practice.
  • Do not treat a matched-name auction record as proof of authorship or authentication.
