His identity is also established in the French IdRef authority system, which connects his name to exhibition catalogues, archival holdings, authorship, editing, illustration, and records in which he is the subject. Among those links is a 2006 edition of Ibn Battuta's I viaggi with illustrations credited to Mondino. This documentation explains why collectors and researchers may encounter his name across artworks, exhibition literature, archives, and illustrated publications. The available source pack supports painting and sculpture as artistic practices, but it does not establish a particular movement, recurring subject, or named series. Object-level identification should therefore rely on the work's own documentation and comparison with securely attributed Mondino examples rather than on broad stylistic assumptions. ## Common works and media The source-backed work types are paintings and sculptures. IdRef also documents Mondino as an illustrator, including a credit for a 2006 edition of Ibn Battuta's I viaggi. That bibliographic record supports illustration as part of his documented activity, but it does not establish that loose illustrations, prints, or editions are common in the auction market. The collected sources do not identify recurring subjects, named series, characteristic materials, or edition practices, so individual objects should be classified from their own physical and documentary evidence. ## Market and appraisal context The supplied Appraisily input associates Aldo Mondino with 699 auction records, but the collected source pack does not expose individual lot descriptions, sale dates, estimates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, or provenance. The count is evidence of market coverage, not of a price level or trend. For appraisal, first confirm that the object is correctly attributed to this authority-controlled artist, then compare like work types: paintings with relevant paintings and sculptures with relevant sculptures. Any assessment involving date, size, materials, condition, provenance, or edition status requires support from the specific object and comparable lot records; those factors cannot be inferred from the biographical sources here. Market conclusions should be presented only when underlying sale records are available and sufficiently comparable. ## Appraisily data basis Appraisily artist pages combine authority-based artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are publicly available. Biographical evidence and market evidence are kept distinct, and gaps in the collected record are stated rather than inferred. ## Sources - Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3609265 - IdRef: https://www.idref.fr/079078699 - Getty Vocabulary Program: https://vocab.getty.edu/page/ulan/500284772 - VIAF: https://viaf.org/viaf/42643784/ - Library of Congress: https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n98055441 - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldo_Mondino - Wikipedia: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldo_Mondino - Appraisily: https://appraisily.com/artist/aldo-mondino/ - Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aldo_Mondino_1975b.jpg
