Also known as

Mary McCartney Macqueen, Mary Macqueen

Mary McCartney Macqueen (1912–1994) was an Australian artist best known for drawing, printmaking, and experimental mixed-media work on paper. Authority records from Wikidata and VIAF identify her as an Australian artist, while the British Museum maintains a collection authority entry for her. Secondary biographical material characterizes her handling as expressive, gestural, and experimental, a useful context for understanding the varied works on paper that carry her name. The collected evidence does not securely assign her to a named movement, so her page is better framed around practice and medium than around a school or manifesto. Collectors are most likely to encounter drawings, prints, and mixed-media sheets in auction and appraisal settings. Appraisily's public market index also records a multi-decade auction history, making careful matching by medium, dimensions, date, signature, and provenance especially important when comparing one Macqueen work with another.

DrawingPrintmakingMixed media on paper

Common works and media

Commonly encountered work types include drawings, prints, and mixed-media works on paper. Auction taxonomies may place records under works on paper and prints, fine art and paintings, or broader mixed-media categories. Because those labels are broad, confirm the actual technique, support, dimensions, signature or inscriptions, edition status where relevant, condition, and date before selecting comparable lots.

Market and appraisal context

Mary Macqueen's public auction record should be read work by work rather than as a single price signal. Appraisily's matched index spans 2001–2026 and includes both priced and unpriced records, with an observed range that can be distorted by differences in medium, size, date, condition, and attribution. For prints, edition information, inscriptions, and sheet condition may matter; for unique works on paper, surface quality, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can change comparability. Subject matter, rarity, and recent demand may also affect results. Public auction data is a starting point, not an appraisal: private sales, incomplete feeds, buyer-premium conventions, and later attribution changes may be missing or inconsistent.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Value drivers

  1. Medium, dimensions, date, and period within the artist's career
  2. Condition, restoration history, surface quality, and support

Appraisal caveats

  • Public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal.
  • Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, and subsequent attribution changes may not be represented.
  • Reported auction totals may use different buyer-premium or fee conventions, so comparable results should be checked on a like-for-like basis.
  • The broad auction categories on the existing page should not be treated as proof that every matched record is correctly attributed to this artist.
