## About Antonio Edo Mosquera

Antonio Edo Mosquera (1920–2003), known professionally as Edgar, was a Spanish comics artist and Fallas artist associated with the Valencian school of humorous comics. Library authority records also identify him as Antoni Edo Mosquera, an important name variant for matching catalogues and sale records. His documented practice connects two visually distinctive Valencian traditions: humorous graphic storytelling and the design culture surrounding Fallas monuments. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in relation to comic illustration, works on paper, printed material, or objects catalogued more broadly as fine or decorative art. The short professional name Edgar requires particular care during research because it can be confused with unrelated artists and historical figures. Surviving public identity information is relatively limited, but VIAF, Wikidata, and Spanish- and Catalan-language reference pages consistently connect the pseudonym with Antonio Edo Mosquera and identify his career in comics.

## Common works and media

Collectors are most likely to encounter material connected with Edo Mosquera's work as a comics artist and Fallas artist, including comic illustration and works on paper. The collected auction index also assigns records to broader categories such as paintings, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions, but those classifications are not sufficiently specific to establish a typical body of auction work. Each object should be evaluated from its own medium, construction, signature, inscriptions, edition details, and documented connection to the artist.

## Market and appraisal context

Auction evidence for Antonio Edo Mosquera should be interpreted cautiously because the collected market page describes a limited set of matched public records and broad category coverage. A useful comparison should match the type of object as closely as possible, especially medium, dimensions, date, condition, signature or inscriptions, edition information, and attribution to Edgar. Provenance, restoration, exhibition history, catalogue references, subject matter, and the recency of comparable sales may also affect appraisal conclusions. The professional name Edgar creates an additional identity risk, so each record should be checked for biographical, stylistic, and catalogue evidence connecting it specifically to Antonio Edo Mosquera. Public results do not capture every private transaction or later attribution change.

## 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. Name matching, attribution, condition, and incomplete public feeds can limit the evidence.
