## About Alejandro Obregón

Alejandro Obregón (1920–1992), formally Alejandro Jesús Obregón Rosés, was a painter, muralist, sculptor, engraver, and draftsman associated with both Colombia and Spain. He was born in Barcelona and died in Cartagena, Colombia. Library and artist authority records consistently identify him as a Colombian artist, while other collected profiles describe his combined Spanish-Colombian identity. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures, and works connected with mural practice. This range matters when identifying an object because the physical format and technique should agree with the type of work being attributed to him. Obregón has stable records in Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN, which help distinguish his identity across museum, library, and auction data. The available source pack does not securely establish a specific movement, named series, or recurring subject, so those classifications should not be added without stronger scholarly evidence.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Obregón in the collected profiles include paintings, murals, sculptures, engravings, and drawings. Auction and appraisal searches should keep these categories separate because a painting, work on paper, print, and sculpture may have different physical evidence and different sets of comparable sales. The source pack does not establish particular subjects, named series, edition sizes, or preferred materials with enough authority to present them as settled facts.

## Market and appraisal context

Alejandro Obregón’s auction record can include paintings, works on paper, engravings, and sculpture. An appraisal should first establish the object’s medium and work type, then compare it with public sales of genuinely similar material. Relevant auction evidence should be matched by date, dimensions, technique, attribution, and other catalogued characteristics rather than by artist name alone. Condition, provenance, signature evidence, edition information, and documentation may also require direct investigation for an individual object, but the collected identity sources do not provide those lot-level details. The present source pack therefore supports artist identification and broad category matching, not a price forecast or conclusion about market direction.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity records with available auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots; the depth of market evidence varies by artist and work type.
