Artist context
About Lisa Yuskavage
Born
1962
Nationality
American
Lisa Yuskavage, born in 1962, is an American painter who lives and works in New York City. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, and IdRef consistently establish her identity and birth year. She is best known for figurative painting: her pictures center the human figure while testing familiar expectations of the genre. Sources in the collected pack also describe a tension between traditional painting techniques and motifs informed by popular culture. The safest broad context for her practice is contemporary figurative painting rather than a specific named movement. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter her name in connection with paintings and auction records, particularly works in which the figure is central. The available evidence supports this identity and practice profile, but it does not document individual series, a catalogue raisonné, or a detailed exhibition chronology. Narrower claims about particular works should be checked against primary catalogues, museum records, or artist-authorized documentation.

Common works and media
The collected sources most clearly support paintings, especially figurative paintings centered on the human figure. They also connect Yuskavage's imagery with popular-culture motifs while describing her technique as grounded in painting traditions. This source pack does not provide enough evidence to characterize prints, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, posters, editions, or named series as common auction categories.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisal should begin by resolving the artist's identity against authority records and confirming that the object fits Yuskavage's documented practice as a painter known for figurative work. The supplied Appraisily input associates 182 auction records with this artist page, but the source pack does not include lot-level descriptions or results from a major auction house. Comparable sale dates, realized prices, and closely related lots should therefore be reviewed at the individual-record level rather than inferred from the record count. This evidence is not sufficient to establish price trends or make claims about provenance, condition, dimensions, work dates, editions, or authenticity. Those characteristics require direct examination and documentary support.

- The source pack does not support conclusions about price trends, provenance, condition, dimensions, individual work dates, editions, or authenticity.
