## About Andres Gruner

Public authority data identifies Andres Gruner as a Swiss graphic designer born in 1954. VIAF clusters Getty ULAN and German National Library records under this identity, while Wikidata supplies a corresponding entity page. The collected sources do not provide an official biography, museum collection record, training history, movement affiliation, or documented catalogue of works. Appraisily also holds auction records matched to the name, but the source pack does not independently establish that every matched lot belongs to the same Swiss designer; the additional matched spelling “Andreas Gruner” makes object-level review particularly important. Collectors may encounter the name in design or auction databases, but signatures, inscriptions, dates, media, and provenance should be checked before connecting an object to this authority identity. No reliable likeness of the artist was found among the supplied image candidates.

## Common works and media

The supplied authority evidence supports graphic design as Gruner's professional field, but it does not document specific bodies of work, recurring subjects, techniques, editions, or object types. The auction source presents broad category suggestions without enough object-level evidence to identify a dependable common-work profile. Classification should therefore be based on the individual object's medium, inscriptions, date, provenance, and documented connection to the artist.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's current market page reports 15 priced records assigned to this name, all within a 2006 date range, with an observed range of $60 to $2,640 and a median near $120. These figures describe the collected records, not a price forecast. Because the source pack does not independently reconcile the auction lots with the Swiss graphic designer's authority identity, name matching should be verified before using those results as comparables. For an individual work, relevant considerations include medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signatures or inscriptions, edition details, provenance, catalogue references, attribution confidence, and genuinely similar public sales. Sparse or incomplete auction feeds can make summary statistics unrepresentative.

## 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. Identity matches and object attribution still require case-specific review.
