## About André (1896) Masson

Appraisily's current public evidence identifies this auction-record entity as André Masson while preserving the source-page display form “André (1896) Masson.” The available source pack is market-led rather than biographical: it documents a substantial collection of matched public auction records but does not establish the artist's full dates, nationality, training, movements, or career history through museum, archive, or authority-file sources. Collectors may encounter records grouped across paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Those groupings describe how lots appear in the present index; they should not be treated as a complete catalogue of the artist's practice. A documented 1984 photograph on Wikimedia Commons provides a usable likeness, but stronger institutional identity sources are needed before fuller biographical or art-historical claims are published.

## Common works and media

The matched auction index groups works under fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. When researching an object, identify its exact medium, dimensions, date, signature or inscriptions, edition status, condition, provenance, and any catalogue references before selecting comparable lots.

## Market and appraisal context

The current Appraisily index reports 1,466 matched auction records, including 768 priced records, with an observed range from $25 to $2,360,750. It separately summarizes 1,308 tracked lots, so those totals should be reconciled before analytical use. For a specific work, compare sales with similar medium, size, date, condition, provenance, attribution confidence, signature or inscriptions, edition information, exhibition history, catalogue references, subject matter, and rarity. Check whether reported totals include buyer premiums or fees. Public auction results are useful evidence, but they are not a stand-alone appraisal and may omit private sales, incomplete feeds, or later attribution changes.

## Appraisily data basis

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