Mikhail Mikhailovich Tarkhanov (1888–1962) is identified in public authority data as a Russian and Soviet painter, while a Ukrainian-language record also describes him as a Ukrainian and Russian graphic artist and designer. He is chiefly associated with abstract, water-based textured compositions called Picturesque Textured Improvisations. The available biography reports that he graduated from the Stroganov school in Moscow in 1915 and entered VKhUTEMAS in 1921, placing his training within an important environment for early Soviet art and design. Tarkhanov also undertook institutional work while continuing an abstract practice that was reportedly constrained in the Soviet period. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in connection with paintings, experimental textured compositions, graphic works, or design material. Because the collected sources differ in how they characterize his national and professional identity, records should be matched through dates, name forms, medium, technique, and documented provenance rather than by name alone.

Common works and media

Works associated with Tarkhanov include abstract water-based compositions distinguished by textured, improvisational surfaces, as well as paintings, graphic art, and design work. Auction or appraisal records may use broader category labels, so a work's materials, format, inscriptions, and documented history should be checked before it is compared with examples assigned to his Picturesque Textured Improvisations.

Market and appraisal context

An appraisal of a work attributed to Tarkhanov should first establish whether its medium and technique correspond to his documented abstract, water-based textured practice or to the graphic and design activity mentioned by another source. The distinction among paintings, experimental compositions, graphic works, and design material may affect which auction comparables are relevant. Identity matching also deserves attention because public records describe Tarkhanov with different national and occupational labels. Appraisily's public artist page indicates an auction-record context, but the collected response did not provide individual lot descriptions or results. Any valuation should therefore rely on verified attribution and on genuinely comparable public sales, with their sale dates, realized prices, work types, and supporting catalog information examined directly.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Abstract textured compositions
  • Paintings
  • Graphic and design works

Value drivers

  1. Consistency with Tarkhanov's documented abstract, water-based textured practice
  2. Work type and medium, including distinctions among paintings, textured compositions, graphic art, and design material
  3. Attribution and identity alignment across records using Russian, Soviet, Ukrainian, painter, graphic-artist, and designer descriptions
  4. Comparison with public auction records, including sale date and realized price when lot-level evidence is available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack did not expose individual auction lots, estimates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or edition details.
  • No price trend, scarcity conclusion, or price prediction is supported by the collected evidence.
  • Attribution requires particular care because the sources use overlapping but non-identical national and occupational descriptions.
