Artist context
About Paul Insect
Born
1971
Nationality
British
Paul Insect is a British graffiti artist born in 1971. His public identity is established through Wikidata and VIAF, with VIAF connecting the name to authority records maintained by the Library of Congress, German National Library, and ISNI. These identifiers help distinguish the artist from unrelated people, artworks, and biological references that can appear in searches for the word “insect.” Collectors may encounter the Paul Insect name in graffiti-art and broader contemporary-art contexts, as well as in auction records indexed under the artist. The available institutional sources provide a dependable identity foundation but only limited information about his artistic development and body of work. This profile therefore avoids assigning particular media, subjects, collaborations, or series that are not independently documented by the collected high-quality sources.
Graffiti art
Common works and media
The available authority sources associate Paul Insect with graffiti art but do not provide a reliable catalog of his common media, subjects, editions, prints, paintings, sculptures, or named series. A work submitted for appraisal should therefore be classified from its physical medium, dimensions, inscriptions, edition markings, date, provenance, and supporting documentation before it is compared with auction records.
Market and appraisal context
An appraisal should begin by confirming that the object and its attribution correspond to the Paul Insect represented by the linked authority records. Relevant public auction comparables can then be reviewed by sale date, realized price, medium, dimensions, edition information, subject, and other lot details when those fields are available. The collected source pack identifies an Appraisily auction-price page for the artist but does not include readable individual lots or a major auction-house source. It therefore cannot support conclusions about current price direction, record results, scarcity, or the relative performance of particular work types. Object-specific condition, provenance, edition status, date, and attribution still require separate evidence.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Value drivers
- Exact identity matching between the Paul Insect name on an object or auction record and established authority profiles
- Comparison with public auction records indexed under Paul Insect, including sale dates, realized prices, and lot details when those fields are available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected pack contains no readable lot-level auction records or major auction-house source, so it does not support claims about price trends, record prices, scarcity, or category-specific demand.
- Medium, dimensions, edition status, condition, provenance, date, and attribution should be assessed from the individual object and relevant comparable records rather than inferred from the artist name alone.
