## About Anatolij Timofeevic Zverev

Anatolij Timofeevic Zverev, also known as Anatoly Zverev, was a Russian painter and graphic artist who lived from 1931 to 1986. He worked in Moscow and is commonly associated with the Russian non-conformist movement and the wider Second Russian avant-garde. Sources also connect his practice with Russian Expressionism during the 1960s. Collectors may encounter Zverev through paintings, works on paper, portraits, graphic compositions, and illustrations. His name appears in museum, library, and authority records under several transliterations, making accurate entity matching important when researching a work. Auction and appraisal records can therefore include paintings, prints, drawings, mixed-media pieces, and edition-related material under variant forms of his name. The strongest identification combines the artist name with medium, subject, date, signature, provenance, and references to exhibitions or catalogues.

## Common works and media

Collectors may encounter Zverev paintings, graphic works, drawings, works on paper, prints, portraits, and book illustrations. The available market classification also includes sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. Because the artist's name appears in multiple transliterations, searches should combine name variants with the work's medium, subject, dimensions, signature, and provenance. Portraits and graphic compositions are particularly relevant categories in the collected bibliographic and market context, while individual attribution and condition require object-level review.

## Market and appraisal context

Zverev works appear across fine-art, painting, works-on-paper, print, sculpture, mixed-media, decorative-art, and edition categories in the available auction data. Appraisal depends on the specific object rather than the artist name alone. Medium, dimensions, date, career period, condition, restoration, surface quality, signature, inscriptions, edition details, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, subject, rarity, and attribution confidence can all affect comparability. Public auction results provide useful market evidence, but they may omit private transactions or later attribution changes. Comparable lots should be matched as closely as possible for medium, size, date, condition, provenance, and attribution before drawing conclusions.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available.
