## Artist identity



## About Alexander Gore

Alexander Gore is the name attached to an Appraisily auction index, but the collected public source pack does not establish a reliable biographical identity for a visual artist of that name. The authority match returned by Wikidata and VIAF instead describes Alexander Gore Arkwright Hore-Ruthven, 1st Earl of Gowrie (1872–1955), a British military officer and politician. That person should not be merged with the auction artist without independent evidence. Because no museum, artist estate, university, catalogue raisonné, or reliable gallery biography in the pack documents the artist, Appraisily cannot responsibly assign birth or death dates, nationality, movements, preferred media, or subjects. Collectors may nevertheless encounter the name across matched auction listings. Those records are useful as research leads, but signatures, inscriptions, photographs, dimensions, medium, provenance, and catalogue descriptions should be checked before treating multiple lots as works by one documented artist.

## Common works and media

The current auction index groups name-matched records under fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. These categories describe the database coverage; they should not be presented as a confirmed catalogue of Alexander Gore's work. Until a reliable artist biography or catalogue is located, each object should be assessed through its photographs, medium, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, edition details, provenance, auction-house attribution, and related documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's data-basis section currently reports 389 matched auction records, including 295 priced records dated from 2010 through 2026, with observed results from $5 to $900. A separate summary on the same page states 367 tracked lots, so the totals require reconciliation. More importantly, the collected sources do not verify that every listing belongs to one documented artist. Any appraisal should therefore begin with object-level evidence. Compare medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and attribution language. Realized prices are most useful when the comparable lots share these characteristics and when premiums, fees, currencies, and sale dates are interpreted consistently.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when available. Here, the auction evidence is usable only with an explicit identity warning because the collected authority match refers to a different person.
