Australian
Also known as
Lance Vaiben Solomon
Lance Vaiben Solomon (1913–1989), commonly listed as Lance Solomon, was an Australian painter best known for landscape subjects. Wikidata, VIAF, and Art UK align on his identity and lifespan, while the available biographical source reports that he won the Wynne Prize in 1946 and again in 1953. These records place his work within twentieth-century Australian landscape painting, although the collected sources do not establish a named movement, school, or detailed career chronology. Collectors may encounter his work under either Lance Solomon or Lance Vaiben Solomon, especially among landscape paintings and public-auction listings. Named works associated with his authority record point toward rural subjects such as country lanes, fences, sheds, and billabongs. Because institutional information in the source pack is concise, any attribution should be assessed through the individual object's signature, inscriptions, provenance, medium, dimensions, condition, date, and relationship to documented works.

Common works and media
Landscape paintings are the clearest documented type associated with Lance Solomon. Authority data links his name with rural-subject titles involving a boundary fence, a country lane, a pump shed and billabong, and neighboring property. Appraisily's auction categories also include works on paper and prints, but the collected institutional material does not establish particular print processes, edition practices, sculpture, ceramics, or named series. Those classifications should be confirmed from the individual object and its documentation.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's artist-market page contains matched public-auction records under both Lance Solomon and Lance Vaiben Solomon. Its categories emphasize fine art and paintings while also identifying works on paper and prints. An appraisal should compare objects with genuinely similar medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration history, subject, provenance, inscriptions, and attribution confidence. Relevant public sales can provide context, but record counts displayed on the collected page are internally inconsistent, and the source pack contains no independent major-auction-house lot pages. Reported results may also differ in their treatment of buyer premiums or fees. Auction data should therefore support, rather than replace, object-specific examination and carefully selected comparable sales.

Appraisal caveats
- Treat public-auction records as evidence inputs rather than a final appraisal; authentication and condition can materially affect value (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/lance-solomon/).
- Compare reported results on a like-for-like basis because auction totals may differ in whether buyer premiums or fees are included (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/lance-solomon/).
- Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may not appear in the public dataset (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/lance-solomon/).
