## About Arthur Goodwin

Arthur Goodwin (1922–1998) was a British artist represented in several United Kingdom public collections. Art UK documents works held by the University of Exeter Fine Art Collection, Ferens Art Gallery, Peter Scott Gallery, and The Box in Plymouth. Recorded titles range from Still Life and Still Life, White Jug and Onions to The King, Darks in Yellow, Alpha and Omega, Fioretti, and Cruciform. These records indicate an output that included still-life subjects as well as compositions carrying symbolic or religious associations, although the available source pack does not establish a formal movement, school, or complete chronology. Collectors should distinguish this artist carefully from the seventeenth-century English lawyer and politician also named Arthur Goodwin. That name collision is especially important when interpreting auction-directory entries, catalogue descriptions, and image-search results. Public-collection records provide the strongest evidence in the present source pack for matching works to the modern British artist.

## Common works and media

Art UK documents still-life subjects, including Still Life and Still Life, White Jug and Onions, alongside works titled The King, Darks in Yellow, Alpha and Omega, Fioretti, and Cruciform. This supports describing the artist's documented output as including still lifes and symbolically titled compositions. The collected evidence does not identify the media, dimensions, edition status, or dates of these works, so those details should be verified from an individual object or collection record rather than inferred from titles or images.

## Market and appraisal context

The most defensible appraisal considerations in the available evidence are identity and comparison with documented public-collection works. An object should first be attributed to Arthur Goodwin (1922–1998), not merely matched by name, because a seventeenth-century politician shares that name. Titles, subjects, inscriptions, and visual correspondence with works catalogued by Art UK may help establish a research path. The source pack does not provide accessible lot descriptions, realized prices, media, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or edition information. Consequently, it does not support a price trend or a typical auction category; object-specific evidence and verified comparable sales remain necessary.

## Appraisily data basis
