Also known as

Simbari, Nicola, Nicolas Simbari

Nicola Simbari (1927–2012) was an Italian painter born in San Lucido, Calabria. Authority records also identify him as a graphic artist, engraver, and lithographer, placing his documented practice across both painting and printmaking. His name appears in international library and art-research records under forms including Nicola Simbari and Simbari, Nicola. For collectors, Simbari’s work may therefore appear in several contexts: paintings, works on paper, prints, and editions, alongside other objects attributed to his broader graphic practice. Appraisily’s artist record connects the identity to a substantial body of public auction data, making it useful for locating comparable lots and reviewing how medium, date, condition, provenance, and attribution affect individual works. The available source pack does not establish a specific art movement or narrowly defined subject specialty, so those classifications should be assessed from the individual object and its documentation.

Common works and media

Auction and appraisal records may place Nicola Simbari works in fine art and painting categories, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, or decorative art and editions. His authority records specifically document painting, engraving, lithography, and graphic-art roles. A collector may therefore encounter paintings, lithographs, engravings, other printed or editioned works, and objects catalogued under broader mixed-media or decorative-art headings. The exact medium, support, edition information, dimensions, signature, condition, and attribution should be confirmed from the individual lot rather than inferred from the artist name alone.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s public artist record reports a substantial auction history for Nicola Simbari, including matched records from 1987–2026, 777 priced records, and an observed price range from $10 to $210,000. These figures describe recorded public-market activity rather than a guaranteed value for any particular work. Appraisal should begin with comparable examples that match the object’s medium, dimensions, date, condition, provenance, signature, edition details, and attribution status. Public records may be incomplete, and reported totals can include buyer premiums or fees. Authentication, restoration, catalogue references, and the quality of available documentation can materially change the interpretation of a result.
