About Shmuel Tepler
Shmuel Tepler (1918–1998) was a Polish-born Israeli painter active from approximately 1938 until his death. Born in Hrubieszów, Poland, he later settled in Tel Aviv, where he lived and worked for much of his career. In addition to painting, Tepler taught art. He was accepted as a member of the Italian Academy in 1975, reflecting recognition beyond Israel's borders. Tepler's work appears regularly at auction, with over seven hundred recorded lots, indicating sustained collector interest. Authority records at the Library of Congress, VIAF, RKD, and Wikidata corroborate his identity and dates, providing a reliable foundation for attribution research.
Painting
Common works and media
Tepler is recorded primarily as a painter. Works encountered at auction or in private collections may include oil on canvas, acrylic, watercolor, and mixed-media compositions. Specific subjects and series are not documented in the available authority files, so appraisers should evaluate each work individually based on its own medium, dimensions, date, and subject matter.
Market and appraisal context
Shmuel Tepler's work appears frequently in Israeli and international art sales. Key factors that affect appraisal include the painting's medium, size, date of execution, subject matter, provenance, and condition. His membership in the Italian Academy (1975) and long career spanning six decades contribute to his market profile. Collectors should verify attribution through signature comparison, provenance documentation, and, where available, expert consultation, as no catalogue raisonné is referenced in public authority sources.
