## About Alberto Porta

Alberto Porta (1946–2025), whose authority-file name is Albert Porta i Muñoz, was a Spanish and Catalan artist also known as Zush and Evru. He used Zush from 1968 until 2001 and Evru thereafter, making those names important identifiers for works, publications, and collection records. His practice encompassed painting, multimedia work, and computer or digital art. Public biographical sources particularly associate him with an early adoption of digital technology and with an understanding of art as a cathartic, therapeutic activity. He also coordinated art workshops involving mental-health patients. Collectors may therefore encounter his work under several names and in materially different forms rather than within a single conventional category. Authority records maintained by Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, the Library of Congress, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and MoMA help connect these identities. No specific movement is assigned here because the collected institution-grade evidence does not establish one clearly.

## Common works and media

Collectors may encounter paintings as well as multimedia, computer-based, or digital works credited to Alberto Porta, Zush, or Evru. The collected sources do not establish a reliable breakdown by format, subject, edition status, or frequency at auction, so individual objects require medium-specific identification and comparison.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal research should first establish whether a work is catalogued or signed as Alberto Porta, Zush, or Evru, since those names correspond to different phases of the same artist's practice. Medium also matters: available sources describe painting alongside multimedia, computer, and digital work, so comparisons should use records for genuinely similar objects. Relevant sale date, auction-house description, dimensions, materials, condition, attribution wording, provenance, and comparable lots should be examined when documented, but the present source pack does not provide enough lot-level evidence to rank those factors or state a price range. Appraisily's artist page supplies an auction-record signal; any valuation conclusion should still be based on verified records for works matching the object's name period and medium.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile separates established authority data from thinner market evidence.
