## About Antonio DeVity

Antonio DeVity is identified by Wikidata as an Italian painter born in 1901. Art UK also catalogs an Antonio Devity born in 1901, but the two records disagree about his death year: Art UK gives 1973, while Wikidata gives 1993. Until stronger authority evidence resolves that conflict, a precise death date should not be treated as settled. The collected sources do not provide sufficient support for assigning DeVity to a particular movement, school, subject specialization, or named series. Collectors may nevertheless encounter his name across several auction categories, including paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture or mixed media, and decorative art or editions. These categories describe matched auction records rather than a definitive catalogue of his artistic practice. Auction searches should also consider the spaced name form “Antonio de Vity,” while treating it as a record-matching variant rather than independently verified biographical evidence.

## Common works and media

Matched auction records place works under fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because the available identity sources do not document a definitive catalogue of DeVity’s practice, each object should be classified from its own medium, construction, inscriptions, edition details, and attribution evidence rather than from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s matched public auction dataset spans 2000–2026 and contains 251 records, including 181 records with prices. The current page reports a median realized result of about $130 and an observed range from $15 to $6,720. These aggregate figures are context, not price predictions. A useful comparison should match the prospective work by medium, dimensions, date or period, condition, restoration, signature and inscriptions, edition information, provenance, attribution confidence, and subject matter. Reported totals may also differ in whether buyer premiums or other fees are included. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes can further limit direct comparison.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity conflicts, incomplete feeds, private sales, and attribution changes are retained as limitations rather than treated as settled facts.
