About Kyohei Inukai

Born

1913

Died

1985

Nationality

American

Kyohei Inukai (1913–1985) is identified by Wikidata as an American artist and by the collected English-language Wikipedia profile as Japanese-American. The authority links associated with this identity include records at Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, GND, ISNI, and RKD. Public biographical evidence in the current source pack is sparse, however, and does not securely establish his training, movements, preferred media, subjects, exhibitions, or named series. This restraint matters because image-search results also represent an older artist named Kyohei Inukai, dated 1886–1954 in Smithsonian-derived portrait metadata. Collectors and researchers should therefore match signatures, dates, provenance, and catalogue descriptions to the 1913–1985 artist before attaching biographical or auction information. Appraisily presents this identity as a research anchor for examining attributed works and related public sale records while keeping the unresolved namesake risk visible.

Common works and media

The collected evidence does not reliably identify Kyohei Inukai's characteristic media, subjects, editions, or series. Paintings, prints, drawings, and other objects carrying this name should therefore be classified from the individual work and its documentation rather than from an assumed body of work. Particular care is needed to exclude works by the older namesake.

Market and appraisal context

Market interpretation should begin with identity control. The collected sources reveal a significant risk of confusing the 1913–1985 artist with an older Kyohei Inukai whose dates are given as 1886–1954. No retrieved source establishes a dependable price range, market direction, characteristic category, or ranking among media. For appraisal purposes, records should be compared only after the artist attribution has been verified. Relevant comparisons should then account for the work type, date, dimensions, condition, provenance, and the reliability of the auction-house attribution. Realized prices are historical observations rather than guarantees of present value, particularly when the available biographical and catalogue evidence is limited.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Value drivers

  1. Correct artist identification, including separation from the older Kyohei Inukai identified as living from 1886 to 1954
  2. Comparable public auction records matched to the verified 1913–1985 identity

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack contains no successfully retrieved major-auction-house biography or lot description establishing common media, subjects, categories, price levels, or market trends.
  • Same-name conflation is a material research risk because the collected portrait results describe an older Kyohei Inukai who lived from 1886 to 1954.
  • Auction records should not be treated as comparable evidence until the creator identity and work attribution have been checked.
