## About Ablade Glover

Ablade Glover is a Ghanaian painter and educator born in 1934. Library-authority records consistently identify him across Wikidata and VIAF, providing a reliable basis for matching his name to the correct artist entity. Public biographical material describes a widely exhibited career, an international reputation, and a significant place within the West African art scene. For collectors, Glover is most securely associated in this source pack with painting. The collected evidence does not establish a specific movement, recurring subject taxonomy, named series, or broader set of media, so those details should not be inferred. Appraisily’s supplied artist data indicates 282 auction records associated with the public Ablade Glover entity. These records can support comparable-sales research, but authorship, object details, and sale context must still be examined for each individual work.

## Common works and media

The evidence collected for this profile most securely supports paintings. It does not substantiate recurring print editions, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, posters, named series, or a consistent subject category, so those should not be presented as characteristic without further catalog or institutional evidence. In an appraisal context, describe the actual object and its materials precisely before selecting comparable auction lots.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal of a work attributed to Ablade Glover should begin with reliable identity matching and a close review of the object. The source pack supports paintings as the principal category, and the supplied Appraisily data reports 282 associated auction records, but no lot-level descriptions or results were collected here. The present research therefore cannot establish how medium, subject, date, dimensions, condition, provenance, edition status, or attribution affected individual outcomes. Those questions should be tested against underlying catalog entries and genuinely comparable public sales. This profile provides an entity and comparable-sales research starting point, not a price forecast or a substitute for physical inspection and documented provenance.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available; availability and detail vary by artist and sale.
