Artist context
About Urs Lüthi
Born
1947
Nationality
Swiss
Urs Lüthi is a Swiss conceptual artist born in 1947. Authority records identify him as a photographer, painter, printmaker and video artist, while biographical sources also document work in performance, sculpture, installation and silkscreen. His practice is especially associated with using his own body, self-image and alter ego as subjects, placing identity and self-presentation at the center of materially varied work. Lüthi attended the School of Applied Arts in Zürich and began teaching as a university professor in Kassel in 1994. Collectors may consequently encounter his name on photographic self-images, graphic works, paintings, sculptural pieces and time-based or performance-related material. This breadth makes identification dependent on the particular medium, date, format and relationship to a documented project rather than on the artist's name alone. His cross-media investigation of the self provides the principal context for understanding the works grouped under this artist entity.

Common works and media
Works associated with Urs Lüthi may appear as photographs, paintings, prints or silkscreens, sculpture, video, installations and performance-related material. Self-imagery, the artist's body, alter egos and changing modes of self-presentation are recurring documented subjects. Because the practice crosses object-based and time-based media, the precise format and relationship to a documented work or project should be established during identification.
Market and appraisal context
Urs Lüthi's documented practice spans several categories that should be separated when researching an object or comparing public sales. Photographs, prints, paintings, sculpture and time-based or performance-related material are not directly interchangeable market categories. Appraisal research should therefore begin by establishing the work type and medium, then locating closely matched public auction records where detailed lots are available. This source pack does not provide enough lot-level evidence to identify price trends or measure the effects of date, dimensions, condition, provenance or edition status. Those details should be verified from the object and its documentation before drawing a valuation conclusion. No price prediction is implied by the artist identity information alone.
