Also known as

Kuniyoshi, Yasuo, 国吉, 康雄

Yasuo Kuniyoshi (1889–1953) is identified in public authority records as a Japanese-American painter, photographer, and printmaker. VIAF brings together the name form “Kuniyoshi, Yasuo,” the Japanese form “国吉, 康雄,” and records from multiple national libraries, while Wikidata and Wikipedia corroborate the basic identity and life years. The collected source pack also links stable artist profiles at Getty ULAN, the Museum of Modern Art, and the National Gallery of Art, supporting reliable entity matching across museum and library systems. His documented activity in painting, printmaking, and photography means collectors may encounter his name across more than one object category. The supplied evidence, however, does not provide enough substantive museum text to assign a precise movement, subject repertory, or named series without overstatement. This profile therefore emphasizes the well-supported identity, dates, and working roles while leaving narrower art-historical classification open for further institutional research.

Common works and media

The authority evidence supports paintings, prints, and photographs as relevant Yasuo Kuniyoshi work types. It does not establish which type appears most frequently at auction, nor does it document recurring subjects, named series, edition formats, or specific techniques. Objects offered under his name should therefore be categorized from their own physical and documentary evidence before they are compared with auction records.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s supplied snapshot associates 530 auction records with Yasuo Kuniyoshi, but the source pack does not include lot-level categories, realized prices, or an auction-house market analysis. A defensible appraisal should therefore begin by confirming that the object is matched to the authority identity represented by VIAF, Getty ULAN, and Wikidata, then classify it within the documented work types of painting, printmaking, or photography. Comparable public auction records are most informative when they concern the same work type and can be reviewed with their sale dates and realized prices. The present evidence does not support a price forecast, market trend, category ranking, or claim about scarcity. Those conclusions require examination of the actual comparable lots and object-specific evidence.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Value drivers

  1. Authority identity and work-type match across painting, printmaking, and photography
  2. Comparable public auction records for the same work type, when available

Appraisal caveats

  • The supplied aggregate count of 530 auction records does not include a lot-level category breakdown, so no auction category is labeled common.
  • The source pack contains no substantive major-auction-house market narrative or realized-price analysis; it does not support price trends, forecasts, rankings, or scarcity claims.
  • Work-level evidence for subjects, named series, dates, editions, provenance, attribution, and condition was not included in the source pack.
