Also known as

Richard Schmid

Richard Alan Schmid (1934–2021), commonly listed as Richard Schmid, was an American painter identified in public reference sources as a realist artist. Getty ULAN and VIAF connect the fuller name Richard Alan Schmid with the shorter form used by Wikidata and Wikipedia, helping distinguish the artist across catalogues and auction records. The available sources establish his identity, nationality, lifespan, and association with realist painting, but they provide little detail about his training, chronology, named bodies of work, or recurring subjects. Collectors may therefore encounter records under either Richard Alan Schmid or Richard Schmid. For this page, those names are treated as referring to the same person, while claims about particular paintings, dates, subjects, or artistic periods should be checked against the individual object and its documented history.

RealismPainting

Common works and media

Authority records identify Richard Schmid as a painter, making paintings the only work type established by this source pack. The collected sources do not provide enough evidence to characterize his usual supports, techniques, subjects, print editions, sculptures, drawings, or named series. Any such classification should be based on the individual object and documented catalogue or auction information.

Market and appraisal context

The source pack supports entity matching but does not include accessible lot descriptions or realized-price evidence. It therefore cannot support a price range, market trend, category premium, or claim about which subjects sell most often. For an appraisal, a Richard Schmid record should first be matched to the authority identifiers and name variants listed here, then evaluated against documented comparable sales and evidence for the specific object. Appraisily can add sale dates, realized prices, auction-house context, and comparable lots when those records are available; none should be inferred from the biographical sources alone.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Appraisal caveats

  • Do not infer price ranges, market trends, category premiums, or subject preferences from the collected identity sources.
  • Confirm artist identity, attribution, and relevant comparable sales before reaching a valuation conclusion.
  • Use object-specific and lot-level evidence when it becomes available.
