Margaret Taylor Goss Burroughs (1915–2010), also known as Margaret Taylor-Burroughs and Margaret Taylor Goss, was an American visual artist, writer, poet, educator, and arts organizer. Her career joined creative practice with institution-building and cultural education in Chicago. She co-founded the Ebony Museum of Chicago, which became the DuSable Museum of African American History, and helped establish the South Side Community Art Center. She also spent much of her professional life teaching art at DuSable High School. Available biographical sources connect her writing with Black experience, children's cultural identity, and greater awareness of art. These overlapping roles help explain why collectors may encounter her name in artistic, literary, educational, and museum-history contexts. The collected evidence does not assign her to a specific formal movement or document a definitive list of media, so works should be described according to the individual object's observable characteristics and documented provenance rather than broad stylistic assumptions.

Common works and media
The available sources identify Burroughs broadly as a visual artist, writer, and poet, with recurring attention to Black experience, children, cultural identity, and art education. The source pack does not reliably establish which specific visual media, editions, series, or object types appear most often at auction. Consequently, a submitted work should be classified from the object itself and its documentation rather than presumed to be a painting, print, drawing, sculpture, or other format.
Market and appraisal context
The collected source pack confirms Burroughs's identity and cultural importance but does not provide readable, lot-level auction descriptions or realized-price evidence. A responsible appraisal should therefore begin with the individual object's medium, dimensions, date, condition, signature or inscription, provenance, and attribution documentation. Those details should then be compared with relevant public auction records, giving particular attention to genuinely comparable works rather than treating every object associated with her name as equivalent. The available evidence is not sufficient to support price forecasts, claims of scarcity, or a medium-specific market hierarchy. Literary publications and archival material should also be distinguished from original visual works when selecting comparables.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Visual art
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack does not provide readable lot-level descriptions, realized prices, or enough evidence to identify specific media as common auction categories.
- No price trend, scarcity claim, or medium-specific valuation conclusion can be supported from the collected evidence.
- Attribution, provenance, condition, dimensions, date, medium, and comparable sales should be verified from the individual object and available auction records before valuation.
