## About Ang Kiukok

Ang Kiukok (1931–2005) was a Filipino painter whose identity is established by Wikidata and VIAF authority records. VIAF also connects him with the name Hong Jiuguo, an alternate form that can help reconcile catalogues, library records, and auction listings. The collected biographical material describes him as Filipino of Chinese descent and identifies him as a National Artist for Visual Arts in the Philippines, although that designation is supported here by Wikipedia rather than a primary institutional biography. Painting is the only medium firmly established by the available source excerpts. The pack does not provide enough authoritative detail to assign a specific movement, recurring subject, technique, or named series without speculation. Collectors may encounter his name in auction-price databases and in records using variant name forms, making careful identity matching an important first step when researching a possible work.

## Common works and media

The collected authority and biographical sources identify Ang Kiukok as a painter, so paintings are the only confidently documented work type for this profile. The available evidence does not establish particular supports, techniques, subjects, editions, print types, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, posters, or named series. Objects in those categories should therefore be researched from their own documentation and comparable auction records rather than assumed to be characteristic of the artist.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal research for a work attributed to Ang Kiukok should begin with identity matching, since VIAF connects his familiar name with the alternate form Hong Jiuguo. The collected sources establish painting as his documented medium, while the public Appraisily artist page indicates that auction-price records are associated with his name. A defensible valuation still requires examination of individual comparable lots, including their sale dates, realized prices, catalogue attribution, and degree of similarity to the work being assessed. This source pack does not expose lot-level condition, provenance, dimensions, support, or sale-result details, so it cannot support a price prediction or market-trend claim on its own.

## 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. This profile distinguishes established authority data from biographical and market details that still require stronger public documentation.
