Also known as
Xie Zhiliu, 谢稚柳, 謝稚柳
Xie Zhiliu (1910–1997), presented on this page as Zhiliu Xie, was a Chinese painter, calligrapher, and art connoisseur active in modern China. Library and authority records also identify him by the Chinese forms 谢稚柳 and 謝稚柳. Public biographical sources describe him as a traditional painter and associate him with the Shanghai School, although the collected institutional sources do not independently document that affiliation in sufficient detail for structured classification here. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings, calligraphic works, and works on paper, where inscriptions, seals, transliterated names, and historical attributions can complicate identification. His authority footprint includes records maintained by Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, IdRef, the Library of Congress, and the British Museum. Those linked records help distinguish the artist from similarly named makers and support matching between catalogues, collection databases, and auction listings.

Common works and media
The collected sources support painting and calligraphy as Xie Zhiliu's principal work types. In auction and appraisal contexts, these may appear under fine-art, painting, or works-on-paper categories. The available source pack does not establish a reliable subject taxonomy, edition practice, or sculpture corpus, so those details should be assessed from the individual object and its documentation rather than inferred from the artist name alone.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisal of a work attributed to Xie Zhiliu should begin with close comparison to records for the same medium, dimensions, date, subject, and format. Condition, restoration, surface quality, signatures, inscriptions, seals, and the strength of attribution can all affect how a lot compares with published results. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references may provide additional support for identity and dating. Appraisily's public index contains matched auction records, but incomplete feeds, private transactions, reporting conventions, and later attribution changes can limit direct comparisons. A median or observed price range should therefore be treated as contextual evidence, not as a prediction for an individual work.
