About Margaret Scobie

Born

1948

Nationality

Australian

Also known as

Margaret Scobie Purgarda

Margaret Scobie, born in 1948, is identified by Wikidata as an Australian artist and by Wikipedia as an Australian Aboriginal artist from the Anmatyerre community north of Alice Springs. The collected sources do not provide a museum biography, formal training history, movement affiliation, or documented career chronology, so those details should not be inferred. Collectors may encounter her name through secondary-market records: Appraisily's matched index contains hundreds of entries and also recognizes the name form Margaret Scobie Purgarda. The available market page groups results into broad fine-art categories while noting that category concentration remains broad or sparse. For entity matching, the clearest anchors in this source pack are her full name, 1948 birth year, Australian identity, Anmatyerre association, Wikidata identifier Q59567243, and public Appraisily page. Institution-grade research is still needed before adding specific techniques, movements, subjects, exhibitions, collections, or series.

Common works and media

The source pack does not support a definitive catalogue of Margaret Scobie's media or subjects. Appraisily currently groups matched auction records under broad labels including fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. An appraisal should identify the actual object's medium, support, dimensions, signature or inscriptions, date, edition status, condition, and provenance before selecting comparable sales. These database categories should not be treated as proof that every listed work type forms part of Scobie's documented practice.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public index reports 529 matched records, including 383 priced records, across 2009–2026 and an observed range of $40 to $2,900. These figures describe the collected database, not a guaranteed market range or appraisal conclusion. Compare works using medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signatures or inscriptions, edition information, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, subject matter, and closely similar public auction results. Reported totals may handle buyer's premiums or fees differently, while private sales and incomplete feeds may be absent. Because the source pack does not document specific techniques, subjects, or series, broad category labels should be treated as search aids rather than definitive descriptions of Scobie's complete practice.

Appraisal caveats
