About Vilhelm Lauritzen

Died

Nationality

Danish

Also known as

Wilhelm Lauritzen

Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894–1984) was a Danish architect and urban planner associated with modern and rationalist architecture. Authority records consistently identify him as a Danish architect, while biographical summaries describe him as a leading figure in Danish modern architecture and the founder of the architectural practice that continues under his name. Collectors may encounter Lauritzen through objects or documents attributed to his design activity, as well as through auction records indexed under his name. The available source pack, however, is stronger on identity than on a detailed catalogue of designs: it does not establish a dependable list of furniture, lighting, drawings, or other collectible work types. Accordingly, any object offered under Lauritzen's name should be assessed through its physical characteristics, date, documentation, manufacturer or edition information when present, and relationship to securely documented designs rather than through name matching alone.

Common works and media

The collected sources do not support a reliable artist-specific inventory of Lauritzen's commonly traded media or object types. Appraisily currently places matched records across broad categories including decorative art and editions, works on paper and prints, fine art and paintings, and sculpture or mixed media. These classifications should be verified against each lot's description, photographs, maker information, date, and attribution before they are used as comparables.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's market index contains matched public auction records under Vilhelm Lauritzen's name, but its category concentration is described as broad or sparse. For appraisal purposes, the strongest comparisons are records involving genuinely similar objects, with attention to medium or object type, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, inscriptions, edition details, provenance, and attribution confidence. Exhibition or catalogue references may add useful context when they connect an object to a documented design. Realized prices should be compared on a consistent basis because reported totals can differ in their treatment of premiums and fees. Public results are only a starting point: private transactions, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may not appear in the available record.

  5. Comparable public auction sales for works similar in type, date, size, and condition
  6. Subject matter, rarity, and current market demand

Appraisal caveats

  • Appraisily describes the present category concentration as broad or sparse, so the listed categories should not be treated as a verified catalogue of Lauritzen's designs (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/vilhelm-lauritzen/).
  • Public auction records are appraisal inputs rather than final valuations; private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/vilhelm-lauritzen/).
  • Reported auction totals may include buyer premiums or other fees, making like-for-like comparison important (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/vilhelm-lauritzen/).
