## About Alice Asmar

Authority records identify Alice Asmar as an American artist born in 1929 and describe her as a collagist, painter, and textile artist. The available sources do not establish a full birth date, formal training, a named movement, or a documented exhibition chronology, so her work should not be attached to a particular school or period without further evidence. Collectors may encounter works attributed to Asmar across painting, collage, textile art, works on paper, prints, and mixed-media listings, although current auction classifications are broad and may sometimes be generic. VIAF also connects her identity with the publication Dance to the Great Spirit: An Artist's Sacred Journeys into American Indian Ceremonies. That association helps distinguish this artist from possible namesakes but does not, by itself, establish recurring subjects across her visual work. Cataloging and appraisal should therefore emphasize object-level evidence such as signatures, inscriptions, medium, date, provenance, and comparison with securely attributed records.

## Common works and media

Authority metadata supports collage, painting, and textile art as Alice Asmar's principal practice labels. Appraisily's auction index also places attributed objects in broader categories that include works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, decorative art, and editions. Because those categories are described as broad or sparsely concentrated, they are best used as discovery filters rather than as a definitive catalogue of her output. Each object should be checked for medium, construction, signature, inscriptions, dimensions, condition, provenance, and edition details where applicable.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public market index reports 67 matched auction records for Alice Asmar, including 14 priced records, across an observed date range of 2010–2025. The recorded results span $10 to $300, but this limited priced sample should not be treated as a forecast for another object. A useful comparison should align medium, dimensions, date, condition, attribution, provenance, subject, and any edition information. Signatures and inscriptions require examination in the context of the complete work rather than acceptance in isolation. Reported prices may also differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees. Private transactions, incomplete auction feeds, restoration, and later attribution changes can further limit direct comparison, so a current appraisal should combine market records with object-specific research.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Gaps in public sources, private sales, incomplete feeds, and attribution changes may limit coverage.
