About Robert Grieve

Robert Henderson Grieve (1924–2006) was an Australian painter, printmaker, and graphic artist based in Melbourne. Active across the second half of the twentieth century, Grieve worked across painting and printmaking disciplines and also contributed to art education as a teacher. His practice encompassed both fine-art painting and graphic work, reflecting the broader post-war expansion of Australian visual arts. Grieve spent his life in Melbourne, where he was born and where he died in December 2006. His work is documented in the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History, the Getty Union List of Artist Names, and the Virtual International Authority File, confirming his recognized place in Australian art history.

Common works and media

Grieve is known primarily as a painter and printmaker. Works that may appear in appraisal or auction contexts include oil paintings on canvas or board, watercolours and works on paper, and editioned prints (etchings, lithographs, screen prints, or linocuts). As a graphic artist, he may also have produced posters, illustrations, or design-related works. Subjects and styles have not been specified in the available authority sources, so collectors should rely on visual examination and cataloguing when assessing individual works.

Market and appraisal context

Robert Grieve's work appears with moderate frequency on the secondary market, with over 350 records referenced in auction databases. Collectors encountering Grieve's work should consider the medium (painting versus print), the subject, the date, provenance, and condition as primary valuation factors. Prints and graphic works may appear more regularly at auction than unique paintings. As with many Australian post-war artists, auction results can vary considerably based on quality, period, and institutional recognition. Comparable auction records from major Australian and international houses should be consulted for current market guidance.

Appraisal caveats

  • No specific auction results or price ranges are available in the collected source pack; valuation guidance should be supplemented with comparable auction records when available.
  • The artist's market presence (359 auction records referenced in the Invaluable database) suggests moderate secondary-market activity but no price trends can be derived from the current sources alone.
