Artist context

About Richard Bassett

Richard Bassett is presently an unresolved artist identity in Appraisily's auction index. The index contains 14 name-matched auction records dated from 2015 through 2023, but the collected public sources do not provide a dependable visual-artist biography or connect those lots to a specific person. Authority searches instead surface distinct people with the same name, including an eighteenth-century Delaware politician and a modern historian and author. Neither identity is established as the creator represented by the auction records. For that reason, no birth or death dates, nationality, artistic movement, characteristic subjects, or preferred media should be assigned yet. Collectors may encounter the Richard Bassett name in auction data, but individual objects require examination of their signatures, inscriptions, provenance, catalogue descriptions, and auction-house attribution before the records can be treated as one artist's body of work.

Common works and media

The source pack does not securely establish recurring media, subjects, periods, or series for Richard Bassett. Appraisily's current page groups possible records under paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because the priced sample is sparse and the name match remains unresolved, these labels should be treated as broad search categories rather than a verified catalogue of one artist's practice.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily currently reports 14 matched lots, of which four have recorded prices, across an observed 2015-2023 sale period. The displayed priced results span approximately US$125 to US$225, with a median near US$160, but the unresolved identity match and small priced sample make these figures preliminary rather than predictive. An appraisal should begin with the exact object's medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration history, signature or inscriptions, provenance, and attribution wording. Edition information matters for prints or multiples. Relevant public comparables should match the same type of object and should be compared on a consistent basis because reported auction totals may handle premiums and fees differently.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Fine art and paintings
  • Works on paper and prints
  • Sculpture and mixed media
  • Decorative art and editions

Value drivers

  1. Comparison with public auction records having similar medium, dimensions, date, condition, provenance, and attribution confidence
  2. Signature, inscriptions, edition information, and strength of attribution
  3. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Subject matter, rarity, and current demand

Appraisal caveats

  • Treat the present auction matches as provisional until the creator's identity is disambiguated.
  • Do not infer authorship from a name match alone; signatures, inscriptions, provenance, and auction-house cataloguing should be checked.
  • The small priced sample is not sufficient for a dependable price prediction.
  • Private transactions, incomplete auction feeds, fees, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
