Artist context
About Les Levine
Born
1935
Nationality
Irish, American
Les Levine, born in 1935, is an Irish-born American artist associated with the development of video, media, and conceptual art. His practice is described in the collected biographical sources as engaging communication media rather than remaining within a single traditional format. Sculpture also forms part of his documented history: a biographical source records that he received first prize for sculpture at the 1967 Canadian Sculpture Biennial. During the 1960s and 1970s, Levine collaborated with artists, critics, and poets on artworks and publications, placing his work within a wider network of experimental cultural production. Stable identifiers from Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and MoMA help distinguish him from similarly named people. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in connection with video and media works, conceptual projects, sculpture, publications, and other documentation arising from an interdisciplinary practice.

Common works and media
Works associated with Les Levine may appear as video or media art, conceptual projects using communication media, sculpture, and artist or collaborative publications. His documented activity during the 1960s and 1970s also places archival and publication-related material within the broader context of his practice. The collected sources do not provide a reliable inventory of specific editions, formats, components, or recurring subjects. Those details should be established from the individual object, its accompanying documentation, and relevant catalogue or auction records rather than inferred from the artist's name alone.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's collected signal associates 171 auction records with Les Levine. That count demonstrates auction visibility, but it does not mean that every record is directly comparable. Levine's documented practice spans video and media art, conceptual projects, sculpture, and publications, so appraisal research should separate records by work type and medium before comparing sale dates, realized prices, or related lots. The present source pack does not include detailed auction-house cataloguing about provenance, condition, edition structure, completeness, or authenticity. It therefore supports neither a price trend nor a claim of scarcity, and any valuation should remain tied to the specific object's documentation and genuinely comparable public sales.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Video and media art
- Conceptual artworks
- Sculpture
- Artist publications and related material
Value drivers
- Comparison with public auction records for the same work type, medium, sale period, and closely related lots when those records are available
- Accurate classification of an object as video or media art, conceptual work, sculpture, or publication-related material before selecting comparable records
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack does not contain detailed major-auction-house lot descriptions, so it does not support claims about price trends, scarcity, provenance premiums, edition premiums, or record prices.
- The broad categories associated with Levine's practice are not necessarily interchangeable in an appraisal; object-specific documentation is needed before selecting comparable sales.
- The supplied auction count indicates a body of records associated with the artist but does not by itself establish attribution, authenticity, or comparability for a particular object.
