Also known as
Sandra Betty Blow
Sandra Blow (1925–2006) was a British artist and English abstract painter associated with the development of British abstraction during the 1950s. Public biographical sources describe her as one of the movement’s pioneering figures. Her practice encompassed painting as well as large, colorful abstract collages assembled with mixed and sometimes discarded materials. That emphasis on scale, color, texture, and physical construction distinguishes her work from abstraction made exclusively with conventional paint surfaces. Stable artist and authority profiles maintained by Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, the British Museum, and Art UK help connect her identity across museum, library, and collection systems. Collectors may encounter Blow through paintings and collage-based works offered on the secondary market. Appraisily’s public artist index associated 726 auction records with her name when this source pack was collected, although individual objects still require careful attribution and comparison.

Common works and media
Collectors are most likely to encounter Sandra Blow’s abstract paintings and collage or mixed-media compositions. Available biographical material emphasizes colorful, often large-scale abstraction and the incorporation of discarded or varied materials. The collected source excerpts do not establish a reliable basis for describing prints, editions, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or named series as common categories, so those classifications should be confirmed object by object.
Market and appraisal context
An appraisal of a work associated with Sandra Blow should compare it with public records for objects of similar medium, scale, date, and construction. The distinction between a painting and a collage or mixed-material work matters because materials can affect both comparability and condition assessment. Large dimensions may also require a different comparison set from smaller works. Collaged or repurposed components should be examined for loss, lifting, instability, restoration, and other condition issues. Provenance, attribution, inscriptions, labels, and exhibition history should be documented for the individual object rather than assumed from an artist-level result. Appraisily’s indexed auction records can provide market context when detailed sale dates, realized prices, auction-house descriptions, and closely comparable lots are available; they do not by themselves support a price forecast.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Abstract paintings
- Collage and mixed-media works
Value drivers
- Medium and material composition, including whether a work is painted, collaged, or constructed from mixed and repurposed materials
- Dimensions and scale, assessed against records for comparable work types
- Condition and material stability, particularly for collages incorporating varied components
- Comparable public auction records for works of similar medium, scale, date, and construction
Appraisal caveats
- The source pack does not contain individual auction-house lot descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, or detailed provenance records.
- No price trend, record price, scarcity claim, or future-value prediction can be supported from the collected excerpts.
- Authorship, date, provenance, edition status, and condition should be verified for the specific object rather than inferred from artist-level records.
