About Russell Young

Born

1959

Nationality

British

Russell Young is a British artist born in 1959 whose public biography describes a practice centered on large silkscreen paintings made from images connected with recent history and popular culture. His broader output includes painting, screen printing, sculpture, installation, and film. The collected sources do not establish a specific art-movement label, so his work is best introduced through its materials and image-based subject matter rather than a fixed school. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings and mixed-media works, works on paper and prints, sculpture, and editions in auction records. Because these formats can differ substantially, identification should begin with the object itself: medium, support, dimensions, date, signature or inscriptions, edition statement, and provenance. Authority records from Wikidata and VIAF align on Russell Young as a British artist and corroborate the 1959 birth year. The exact birth date and the occasional British-American description remain less firmly established in this source pack.

Common works and media

Young's documented practice includes painting, screen printing, sculpture, installation, and film, with large silkscreen paintings using imagery connected with recent history and popular culture singled out in the available biography. In Appraisily's matched auction data, relevant groupings include fine art and paintings; works on paper and prints; sculpture and mixed media; and decorative art and editions. A listing should identify whether an object is unique or editioned only when its physical evidence and documentation support that distinction.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's matched public-auction data groups Russell Young lots across fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. For appraisal, compare like with like: medium, size, date, career period, condition, restoration, surface quality, signature, inscriptions, edition details, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, subject matter, rarity, and recent comparable sales can affect relevance. Public auction results are evidence, not a price promise. Fees may be reported differently, private transactions and incomplete feeds may be absent, and later attribution or condition findings can change the conclusion. A current value opinion should therefore rely on the closest verified comparables and the characteristics of the specific object under review.
