Artist context
About Walter Piacesi
Born
1929
Nationality
Italian
Walter Piacesi (born 1929) is an Italian artist represented in international authority files. Wikidata identifies him as a painter, while VIAF aggregates library records describing him as a painter, sculptor, and ceramicist; the collected Italian Wikipedia entry also identifies engraving as part of his practice. Together, these records support a stable entity match across Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and national-library identifiers. The available sources do not establish a specific movement or school, a full birth date, or a death date, so those details remain open rather than inferred. Collectors may encounter Piacesi under categories connected with painting, engraving and prints, sculpture, or ceramics. Appraisily's input corpus associates 292 auction records with this artist name, indicating a recurring auction-record presence, although the collected pack did not expose individual lot descriptions or results. Attribution, medium, and object type should therefore be checked against the specific work and its documentation.

Common works and media
The authority sources support four broad practice labels for Walter Piacesi: painting, engraving, sculpture, and ceramics. In appraisal and auction contexts, his name may therefore appear under paintings, engravings or other prints, sculpture, and ceramic art. The source pack does not identify recurring subjects, named series, edition formats, or preferred materials, so those characteristics should be documented from the individual object rather than generalized from the artist name.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisal should begin by confirming that a work is attributed to the same Walter Piacesi represented by the linked authority records. The object should then be classified accurately as a painting, engraving or other print, sculpture, or ceramic, because the source pack supports several areas of practice but does not show how the 292 associated auction records divide among them. Comparable-lot analysis should use records matching the relevant work type and should consider sale dates and realized prices when those data are available. The collected pack contains no accessible major-auction-house biography or lot-level evidence, and the Appraisily page request was rate-limited. It therefore does not support a price forecast, rarity conclusion, or market-trend claim without further work-specific and auction-record research.

Appraisal caveats
- The source pack reports 292 associated auction records but does not expose their individual descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, or category distribution.
- No accessible major-auction-house source was collected, so the available evidence does not support price forecasts, market-trend claims, or conclusions about rarity.
- The collected sources do not establish recurring subjects, named series, edition practices, or detailed material preferences.
