## About André Lhote

André Lhote (1885–1962) was a French painter and sculptor associated with Cubism and the wider development of French modernism. His work is encountered across figure compositions, portraits, landscapes, and still lifes, with a constructed approach to form that reflects the period’s interest in reorganising observed reality. Lhote was also active as a writer and teacher, extending his influence beyond his own studio practice. Museum and authority records, including those of MoMA, Tate, the Getty Research Institute, and VIAF, help distinguish his identity across collections and catalogues. Collectors may encounter Lhote paintings, works on paper, prints, editions, and occasional sculpture in auction and appraisal contexts. The official André Lhote site also documents exhibitions, bibliography, academy activities, and a catalogue raisonné project, making catalogue references and provenance especially useful when evaluating a particular work.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal records for André Lhote may include oil paintings and other paintings, drawings and works on paper, prints or editions, portraits, figure compositions, landscapes, still lifes, sculpture, mixed-media works, and decorative art. The medium, support, dimensions, edition details, signature or inscription, date, condition, and documentation should be recorded for each object because works grouped under the same artist name can represent materially different market categories.

## Market and appraisal context

André Lhote’s public auction record spans paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture or mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Appraisily’s available market index reports substantial recorded activity, but its figures should be used as orientation rather than as a prediction for any individual object. Value can differ materially according to medium, scale, date, period, subject, condition, restoration, signature, edition information, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references. Comparable sales are most useful when they match the work closely in these respects. Public results may omit private transactions or contain incomplete attribution and fee information, so authentication and condition review remain essential.

## Appraisily data basis
