Also known as
Kenneth Price
Ken Price (1935–2012), also catalogued as Kenneth Price, was an American artist whose primary field was ceramic sculpture. Library authorities additionally identify him as a sculptor and printmaker, while a documented exhibition catalogue covers sculpture and drawings from 1962 to 2006. This combination of practices is useful when identifying his work: the same artist entity may be attached to a unique ceramic object, a print, or a drawing rather than to one uniform category. Museum and authority records consistently connect the Ken Price name with this twentieth-century American artist, helping distinguish him from namesakes in auction data. Collectors encounter Price through modern and contemporary art sales, ceramics categories, works on paper, museum collections, and exhibition catalogues. For appraisal, the first task is to establish the object type and medium, then compare its date and documentation with securely identified examples and relevant public auction records.

Common works and media
Collectors may encounter Ken Price through ceramic sculpture, prints, and drawings. Ceramic sculpture is the central category identified by the available biographical sources, while library authorities also document his printmaking and a published catalogue covering sculpture and drawings. Category and medium should be established before selecting auction comparables.
Market and appraisal context
Ken Price auction records should be compared within the appropriate work category. A ceramic sculpture, print, and drawing represent different parts of his documented practice and should not be treated as interchangeable comparables. The work type, stated medium, date, and relationship to documented exhibition or catalogue material provide a useful starting point before examining relevant public sales. Lot-level evidence should then be reviewed for genuinely comparable objects rather than using an artist-wide result in isolation. The collected source material does not support a price forecast, and an individual object still requires separate examination, attribution review, and verification of its accompanying documentation.
