## About Abie Loy Kemarre

Abie Loy Kemarre is an Australian Aboriginal painter born in 1972. Her identity is established across Wikidata, VIAF, IdRef, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France catalogue, providing a reliable foundation for matching artist and auction records. VIAF also connects her identity with Getty’s Union List of Artist Names and the National Library of Australia. Collectors are most likely to encounter her name in relation to paintings and auction listings, although the collected sources do not provide enough institutional biography to describe her training, exhibitions, named series, or specific subject matter with confidence. A French Wikipedia entry associates Kemarre with the Anmatyerr group and places her birth northeast of Alice Springs, but those details require corroboration from a museum, university, artist organization, or another institution-grade source before being treated as settled page facts.

## Common works and media

Authority records describe Kemarre as a painter, so paintings are the only common work type supported by this source pack. The sources do not establish whether particular works are acrylic, oil, works on paper, prints, editions, sculptures, ceramics, or posters, and they do not reliably identify recurring subjects or named series. Object-level auction cataloguing should determine the medium, support, dimensions, date, title, and attribution wording for each work rather than inferring them from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Market evidence in the collected source pack is limited. Appraisily’s public artist-page record signals an auction-price corpus for Abie Loy Kemarre, but the response available during research was rate-limited and exposed no lot-level details. For appraisal, the first defensible step is matching the work and artist name to the established authority identity. Any later comparison should use publicly documented auction records and retain the auction house, sale date, lot description, attribution wording, and realized price. Because this pack contains no visible comparable lots, it does not support a price range, trend statement, scarcity claim, or market prediction.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identities with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are publicly available. This profile distinguishes authority-supported identity facts from market details that still require lot-level evidence.
