About Meir Pichhadze

Meir Pichhadze (1955–2010) was an Israeli painter born in Kutaisi, Georgia, then part of the Soviet Union. He immigrated to Israel in 1983 and established himself as a distinctive voice in Israeli contemporary painting, working from Tel Aviv until his death in 2010. Pichhadze's Georgian origins and immigration experience informed a visual language that resonated within the broader context of late-twentieth-century Israeli art. His estate is managed by his heirs, and an official website preserves his life's work, biography, and bibliography. He is recorded in the Library of Congress Name Authority File, VIAF, and Wikidata, confirming his recognition across major international authority systems.

Recent titled lots such as "Books and a Lemon in the Landscape," "A Girl and a Pair of Pigeons," "Young Woman with Red Blouse," "Surreal Allegory," and "Pensive Figure" suggest figurative and allegorical subject matter. Liquidity is active and increasing, with 25 priced lots in the most recent 12-month period compared to 16 in the prior 12-month window, pointing to sustained or growing collector demand.

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack did not include specific auction records or major auction-house catalog entries; realized-price comparables should be sourced from dedicated auction databases.
  • No museum collection records were available in the source pack to confirm institutional holdings or exhibition history.
  • Auction records are derived from the Appraisily auction-record index and reflect publicly available sale results; not all lots may be captured, and results from smaller or regional houses may be underrepresented.
  • Several recent lots show null priceRealised values, which may indicate unsold lots (bought-in), post-sale private negotiations, or data latency; these are excluded from price-distribution statistics.
