About Matias Spescha

Born

1925

Died

2008

Nationality

Swiss

Matias Spescha (1925–2008) was a Swiss painter, sculptor, and graphic artist. Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN connect the same creator across major public authority systems, while the collected French-language biographical record gives the fuller life dates of 17 July 1925 to 28 June 2008. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on works in several media rather than within a single object category. A Wikimedia Commons record documents three untitled large sculptures dated 1979 at University Hospital Basel, providing evidence of his work at a monumental, public scale. The available source pack is strongest on identity, nationality, and artistic roles; it does not establish a named movement, comprehensive chronology, or complete account of subjects and series. Appraisily accordingly treats paintings, sculptures, and graphic works as the principal research categories while leaving attribution and object-specific conclusions dependent on the evidence accompanying each work.

Common works and media

The available authority and biographical sources consistently identify sculpture and painting, while the German-language record also identifies graphic art. One documented example is the 1979 group of three untitled large sculptures at University Hospital Basel. The collected evidence does not support a fuller breakdown by material, print process, subject, edition, or named series; those details should be established from the individual object and stronger cataloguing evidence.

Market and appraisal context

Market assessment should begin by determining whether an object is a painting, sculpture, or graphic work, since Spescha is documented in all three roles. Date and relationship to documented output can also provide context; the source pack records a 1979 group of three untitled large sculptures at University Hospital Basel. Authority links help confirm that records refer to the same artist, while comparable public auction lots can add context through their work type, sale date, realized price, and cataloguing when available. This pack contains no major-auction-house essay or lot-level evidence, so it does not support a price trend, forecast, or universal premium. Object-specific attribution and documentation must be assessed separately.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Sculptures
  • Graphic works

Value drivers

  1. Classification of the object as a painting, sculpture, or graphic work
  2. Date and relationship to documented output, including the 1979 public sculpture group in Basel
  3. Correct identity matching through Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN authority records
  4. Comparable public auction records, sale dates, realized prices, and matching lot context when available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected pack contains no major-auction-house biography or lot-level auction evidence from which to infer a price trend.
  • No catalogue raisonné, estate record, or museum chronology was collected, so object-specific attribution requires additional evidence.
  • The pack does not establish condition, provenance, edition information, signatures, materials, dimensions, or authenticity for any individual object.
