Also known as
Pat Hanly, James Patrick Hanly
Patrick Hanly (1932–2004), widely known as Pat Hanly and identified in reference material as James Patrick Hanly, was a New Zealand painter. Wikidata and VIAF align his identity, nationality, and lifespan, while Getty, Library of Congress, and British Museum authority links help distinguish him from similarly named people. Public reference material characterizes Hanly as prolific and identifies Rainbow Pieces, a large mural completed in 1971 for Christchurch Town Hall, as a prominent work. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with painting, although institutional records may catalogue him under Patrick or Pat Hanly. The available source pack does not establish a specific movement, a complete career chronology, or a comprehensive catalogue of media and series, so those details should not be inferred. For cataloguing and appraisal, signatures, inscriptions, labels, and prior records should be assessed with the documented name variants in mind.

Common works and media
Painting is the principal medium clearly established by the collected sources. The pack also documents the large 1971 mural Rainbow Pieces and, through VIAF's aggregated authority record, identifies titles including Bouquet, Bride and Groom's Speech, Everything is beautiful, and Figures in light 9. It does not provide enough information to assign media, subjects, dates, editions, or series to those titled works. Paintings are therefore the best-supported general category, while narrower descriptions should be based on evidence for the individual object.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily records indicate an auction presence for Patrick Hanly, but the collected source pack did not expose individual lot descriptions, realized prices, sale dates, or detailed auction-house commentary. This profile therefore does not assert a typical value range, price trend, or level of scarcity. Review should begin by resolving the documented Patrick Hanly, Pat Hanly, and James Patrick Hanly name forms and confirming that the object is correctly attributed. Comparable sales should be selected only from accessible lot records that establish meaningful similarity; an artist-level result count is not a substitute for lot-level evidence. A stronger market assessment requires cataloguing details and public realized-price records for the specific kind of work under consideration.

Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack did not expose individual auction-lot descriptions, realized prices, sale dates, condition reports, provenance, or auction-house market commentary.
- The artist-level auction-record count does not by itself establish a value range, price trend, scarcity, or demand level.
- Lot-level evidence is required before comparing portable paintings with murals or mural-related material.
