## About Aki Kuroda

Aki Kuroda (born 1944) is a Japanese visual artist known across painting, sculpture, and print-related practice. Authority records identify him as a painter and sculptor, while French library records also connect him with engraving, lithography, illustration, and artist publications. He is also catalogued under the name Akihiko Kuroda and Japanese forms of his name, useful distinctions when matching catalogues and sale records. Public biographies describe him as based in Paris, placing his career in both Japanese and French contemporary-art contexts, although the collected institutional sources do not assign him to a specific movement. Collectors may encounter unique paintings and sculptures as well as lithographs, engraved or illustrated material, exhibition catalogues, and book collaborations. Because these formats differ materially, a Kuroda attribution should begin with careful object identification and comparison against records for the same medium and work type. This profile emphasizes confirmed identity links and documented practices rather than unsupported stylistic labels.

## Common works and media

Catalogued practices include painting and sculpture, together with lithography, engraving, illustration, and book-related graphic work. Auction or appraisal submissions may therefore involve unique objects, standalone prints, or graphic works issued within publications. The collected sources do not establish recurring subjects, named series, edition sizes, or a specific movement, so those details should be verified from the individual object and its documentation rather than assumed.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected sources confirm several object categories but do not include a major-auction-house market essay or category-level results. For appraisal, first distinguish a unique painting or sculpture from a lithograph, engraving, illustration, or book-related work. For graphic material, determine whether it is a standalone print or part of a documented publication, since the IdRef record includes original lithographs issued with texts and illustrated editions. The object can then be compared with public sale records matching the same category and sale period when those records are available. Appraisily's artist page reports a body of auction records, but this research pack does not establish price direction, scarcity, or a reliable market range. No price prediction should be inferred from identity records alone.

## 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. Source limitations are retained so that authority data is not mistaken for object-specific attribution or market evidence.
