About Michael Loew
Born
1907
Died
1985
Nationality
American
Michael Loew (1907–1985) was an American painter associated with Abstract Expressionism and active in New York City. A biographical source also identifies him as a longtime teacher at the School of Visual Arts and the University of California, Berkeley. His identity is represented in Getty ULAN, VIAF, Wikidata, Library of Congress, ISNI, and RKD authority systems, helping distinguish him from people with similar names. VIAF links Loew to titles such as Diagonal Rhythms, Diagonal Space Elements #2, Interchangeable Forms, Landscape Volumes, and Sea and Rocks, Monhegan. These records indicate a practice that encompassed spatial or geometric abstraction as well as landscape-oriented imagery. Collectors may therefore encounter works reflecting different aspects of his painting practice rather than a single repeated subject. Exact dates, titles, inscriptions, exhibition labels, and provenance remain important when connecting an individual work to the documented artist.

Common works and media
Available authority and biographical records identify painting as Loew’s principal documented medium. Titles connected through VIAF suggest abstract compositions concerned with diagonal movement, rhythm, space, and interchangeable forms, alongside landscape and coastal imagery such as Landscape Volumes and Sea and Rocks, Monhegan. The source pack does not establish a reliable catalog of prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or editioned works, so those categories should not be treated as characteristic without object-specific evidence.
Market and appraisal context
An appraisal of a work attributed to Michael Loew should begin by confirming that the artist matches the American painter born in 1907 and represented by the linked authority records. Comparisons are most useful when they align in work type, subject, date, dimensions, condition, and attribution status. Loew’s documented titles point to both abstract or geometric compositions and landscape-oriented material, so superficially similar works may belong to different parts of his practice. Public sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots can provide market context when accessible, but the collected source pack does not expose enough lot-level evidence to support a price trend or forecast. Object-specific provenance, inscriptions, exhibition history, and physical examination should remain separate parts of the appraisal.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Paintings
- Abstract paintings
- Landscape-oriented paintings
Value drivers
- Confirmed identity and attribution to the Michael Loew represented by Getty, VIAF, and Wikidata authority records
- Relationship of the work type and subject to documented abstract, geometric, landscape, or coastal examples
- Comparable public auction records, including sale dates and realized prices when those records are available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack contains no accessible lot-level auction results or major auction-house biography, so it does not support price-trend, scarcity, or market-direction claims.
- The Appraisily auction page was rate-limited during collection; its individual records, sale dates, realized prices, attribution language, and condition information were not available for verification.
- Condition, dimensions, provenance, signature, date, and exhibition history should be assessed from the individual object and its documentation rather than inferred from the artist identity record.
