Пурыгин, Леонид Анатольевич, Purygin, Leonid

Leonid Purygin (1951–1995) was a Soviet and Russian painter whose name appears in international authority files under Latin and Cyrillic forms. The collected records securely connect Leonid Purygin with Леонид Анатольевич Пурыгин, although library data disagrees between 1951 and 1952 for his birth year; this profile uses 1951, the year supported by Wikidata and several VIAF-consolidated records. A Russian-language reference associates him with art brut, but the present source set does not include a museum, foundation, or scholarly record sufficient to promote that label as a confirmed movement. Collectors encounter Purygin through public auction listings that include paintings and broader classifications covering works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. Because those categories are broad, each object should be checked against its title, medium, date, dimensions, inscriptions, provenance, and catalogue history rather than classified from the artist name alone.

Painting

Common works and media

Painting is the best-supported work type because authority records identify Purygin as a painter and Appraisily's auction index includes fine art and paintings. The index also places matched lots in broad categories for works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Those labels should be treated as discovery aids rather than a definitive catalogue of his oeuvre. For appraisal, record the object's actual materials, support, dimensions, date, inscriptions, edition information, and condition before selecting comparable sales.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's February 2026 snapshot shows 72 matched auction records, including 43 with prices, across a reported 2006–2026 date range. The observed results ranged from $150 to $121,000, with a median near $15,000; these figures describe the recorded sample and are not an estimate for an unidentified work. Useful comparisons should align medium, dimensions, date or career period, subject, condition, restoration, signature or inscription, attribution, provenance, and exhibition or catalogue history. Edition information matters where applicable. Compare results on the same fee basis because published totals may handle buyer's premiums differently. With only one sale recorded during the preceding 12 months in that snapshot, lot-level similarity deserves more weight than headline averages.

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 career period

  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Recent comparable public auction sales for works of similar type

Appraisal caveats

  • Use the auction index to locate possible comparables, then inspect the documentation for each individual lot.
  • Compare reported results on the same fee basis because published totals may treat buyer's premiums differently.
  • A name match or earlier sale record does not establish authenticity, attribution, or present condition.
  • Private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may not appear in the public record.
