About Richard Bawden
Born
1936
Died
2024
Nationality
British
Richard Bawden (1936–2024) was a British painter, printmaker and designer whose practice moved between fine art and applied design. Public descriptions emphasize a graphic, linear character, a thread connecting his paintings and prints with book illustration, posters and larger commissioned projects. His documented output also included murals, etched-glass church windows and doors, mosaics and furniture, demonstrating a working range broader than easel pictures alone. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on conventionally framed works as well as printed or designed objects whose materials, purpose and production context differ. Appraisily's supplied artist-page input associates 209 auction records with Richard Bawden, indicating recurring secondary-market visibility, but the collected public sources do not establish a price trend or provide a complete catalogue. Identity and comparison work should begin with the object's medium, type and any documented publication or commission context.

Common works and media
Works encountered under Richard Bawden's name may include paintings, prints, book illustrations and posters. His documented practice also extended to murals, etched-glass church windows and doors, mosaics and furniture. These categories should not be treated as interchangeable: a print or publication-related object belongs to a different comparison set from a painting, architectural commission or designed piece of furniture.
Market and appraisal context
An appraisal should first classify the object within Bawden's documented practice: painting, print, illustration, poster, mural-related work, etched glass, mosaic or furniture design. This distinction helps identify auction records that concern genuinely comparable objects instead of combining unlike parts of a multidisciplinary career. The supplied input contains 209 associated auction records, but the source pack does not reveal their distribution by medium and includes no major-auction-house market commentary. It also provides no reliable basis for claims about price trends, edition scarcity, condition premiums or provenance effects. Any valuation should therefore use verified object-specific evidence and closely matched public sales when those records are available.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Paintings
- Prints and graphic works
- Illustration and poster-related works
- Applied-design and decorative works
Value drivers
- Classification by work type and medium within Bawden's documented multidisciplinary practice
- Use of comparable auction records for the same type of object rather than comparisons across his entire output
- Documented publication or commission context when evaluating illustrations, posters, murals, architectural glass, mosaics or furniture
Appraisal caveats
- The source pack does not provide a verified breakdown of the 209 collected records by medium or work type.
- No major-auction-house source was available in the collected pack, so no price trend, market direction or category-frequency claim can be supported.
- The available sources do not supply edition details, condition guidance, provenance analysis or a complete catalogue of works.
