Vasily Sitnikov (1915–1987) was a Russian painter and graphic artist whose name appears in library and museum authority systems under several transliterations, including Vasiliĭ Sitnikov and Vassily Yakovlovich Sitnikov. These variants matter because catalogues and auction records may not use the same English spelling. Discovery-level biographical sources place him in the setting of postwar Russian unofficial or nonconformist art, but the collected pack did not retrieve a museum or scholarly statement strong enough to encode that association as a confirmed movement. Collectors may encounter Sitnikov through paintings, graphic works, institutional identity records, and historical auction listings. Research for an appraisal should first reconcile the catalogue name and work type with the correct authority record before comparing the object with relevant public sales. Exact birth and death dates were not established by the collected excerpts; only the years 1915 and 1987 were consistently supported.

PaintingGraphic art

Common works and media

The collected identity sources describe Sitnikov as a painter and graphic artist. The safest common-work categories are therefore paintings and graphic works. The available evidence does not establish recurring subjects, named series, specific print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or poster production. Auction catalogues may use different transliterations of his name, so the authority identity should be reconciled before a record is treated as his work.

Market and appraisal context

The collected evidence is strong enough to separate Sitnikov’s identity from spelling variants and to distinguish two broad categories: paintings and graphic works. It is not strong enough to support a price trend, preferred subject, rarity claim, or category premium. The source pack contains an Appraisily auction-price page but no lot-level descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or edition information. Any appraisal should therefore begin with the correct artist match and work type, then consult the underlying public sale records before selecting comparables. Conclusions about condition, date, attribution, provenance, edition status, or subject should be made only from documentation and physical evidence for the specific object, not inferred from this entity profile.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Graphic works

Value drivers

  1. Correct artist-identity and transliteration matching
  2. Work type, particularly whether the object is a painting or a graphic work
  3. Comparable public auction records when underlying lot data are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected pack contains no lot-level descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, dimensions, or edition details.
  • No price trend, preferred subject, rarity claim, or category premium can be supported from the collected evidence.
  • Attribution, condition, date, provenance, edition status, and direct comparability must be assessed from the specific object and its documentation.
