About Uri Lifshitz

Uri Lifshitz (1936–2011) was an Israeli painter, printmaker, graphic artist, and sculptor born at Kibbutz Givat HaShlosha in central Israel. Active across several decades of the second half of the twentieth century and into the 2000s, Lifshitz worked in a range of media that included painting, drawing, printmaking, and graphic art. His practice spanned both figurative and abstract idioms within the broader context of Israeli modern and contemporary art. Multiple authority files — including the Getty Union List of Artist Names, the Library of Congress Name Authority File, VIAF, and the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History — record consistent biographical details and name variants (Lifschitz, Lifshits). His work circulates regularly at auction, where collectors encounter paintings, works on paper, and prints.

Common works and media

Lifshitz produced paintings in oil and other media, drawings, prints, and graphic works. Works on paper — including preparatory studies and finished compositions — form a significant portion of his recorded auction output. Print editions, if encountered, should be checked for edition size, numbering, and signature. The artist also practiced sculpture, though three-dimensional works appear less frequently in auction contexts than his two-dimensional pieces.

Market and appraisal context

Uri Lifshitz (1936–2011) maintains an active and well-documented secondary market, with 227 total lots tracked in the Appraisily/Invaluable auction database, 130 of which carry realized prices. Auction records span from June 2007 through December 2025, indicating nearly two decades of continuous market presence. The price distribution shows meaningful breadth: the lowest recorded price is $30, the 25th percentile sits at $300, the median is $1,800, the 75th percentile reaches $3,600, and the highest recorded price is $29,900. Recent results reinforce this range — a Tiroche lot in December 2024 achieved $11,000, while another in the same sale reached $9,500, and smaller works on paper and prints trade in the low hundreds. The market is anchored by Israeli auction houses, with Tiroche Auction House handling the largest share of volume, followed by Montefiore Auction House, Yair Art Gallery, Pasarel, and Hammersite. International exposure comes through Sotheby's, Greenwich Auction (US), DuMouchelles (US), and Abell Auction (US). Liquidity is moderate and steady: 10 priced lots in the most recent 12-month window and 13 in the prior 12-month window, suggesting consistent but not high-volume turnover.
