About Rogelio Polesello

Died
2014
Nationality
Argentine
Rogelio Polesello (1939–2014) was an Argentine painter, sculptor, and muralist associated with Op art and its development in Latin America. Born in Buenos Aires, he worked across two- and three-dimensional formats, making optical effects an important part of his public artistic identity. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings, works on paper, prints, sculptures, mixed-media objects, and editions. That range matters because superficially related works can differ substantially in materials, scale, date, production method, and intended context. His presence in museum and international authority records helps distinguish him from similarly named artists and supports consistent matching across catalogues. In the auction market, Polesello's works appear in several categories rather than one uniform group, so identifying the exact medium, dimensions, date, signature, edition status, and provenance is essential before selecting comparable sales or drawing conclusions about value.

Common works and media
Auction and appraisal records may classify Polesello's works as paintings, works on paper, prints, sculptures, mixed-media pieces, decorative objects, or editions. His documented practice also included murals, although a mural and a portable auction object require different forms of analysis. For prints and other multiples, edition size, number, inscriptions, and production method should be checked. For paintings and sculptural works, materials, dimensions, date, surface condition, restoration, signature, and provenance are central to choosing credible comparables.
Market and appraisal context
Rogelio Polesello has a substantial body of matched public auction records, but those results cover varied objects, including paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative works, and editions. A useful appraisal therefore compares like with like instead of applying a single artist-wide median. Medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, surface quality, signature, inscriptions, edition details, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and attribution confidence may all affect comparability. Recent realized prices can provide context when the lots share these characteristics. Public results may omit private transactions, and reported totals may handle buyer's premiums or fees differently, so unusual results and broad price ranges require inspection of the underlying lots.

- Private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may not be represented.
