About Paul Permeke
Born
1918
Died
1990
Nationality
Belgian
Paul Permeke (1918–1990) was a Belgian painter whose identity is established across Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and RKD authority records. A collected Dutch-language biography characterizes his work as figurative and post-Impressionist, although that stylistic classification is not confirmed by a substantive museum or scholarly source in the present source pack. Collectors encounter Permeke through a substantial public auction record centered most clearly on paintings, with additional records grouped under works on paper and prints and, less confidently, other art categories. His exact birth date, 20 October 1918, and death date, 11 May 1990, appear in the collected French-language biography, while authority records independently corroborate the life years 1918–1990. Because the available institutional profiles primarily establish identity rather than offering detailed scholarship, individual works should be assessed through their medium, date, subject, inscriptions, provenance, condition, and relationship to securely attributed examples.

Common works and media
The strongest collected evidence identifies Permeke as a painter, and fine art and paintings are the clearest auction category associated with his market. The Appraisily record also groups some material under works on paper and prints. Sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions appear as broader categories, but the source indicates that category concentration is sparse or broad; those labels should therefore be verified against the medium and attribution of each specific lot rather than presented as established specialties.
Market and appraisal context
Paul Permeke has an established public-auction footprint, but an individual result should be compared with genuinely similar works rather than treated as a general price prediction. Relevant distinctions include medium, dimensions, date, subject matter, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, provenance, exhibition and catalogue history, edition information where applicable, and the strength of the attribution. Recent comparable sales can provide useful context when their reporting basis is consistent, since published totals may or may not include buyer premiums and other fees. Public records do not capture every private transaction, and incomplete feeds or later attribution changes can alter the apparent market picture. Authentication and direct condition inspection therefore remain important parts of a defensible appraisal.
