## About Avram Ofek

Avram Ofek, also catalogued as Avraham Ofek, was an Israeli artist who lived from 1935 to 1990. International authority records connect both name forms to the same person and identify him as a painter; Israeli reference material also describes him as a sculptor, while a public biographical summary characterizes his practice as multidisciplinary. Collectors may therefore encounter his name across more than one type of object rather than within a single medium. Appraisily's matched auction records include paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed-media pieces, and editions attributed to Ofek. Accurate identity matching is especially important because auction catalogues use both Avram Ofek and Avraham Ofek. The available source pack establishes his identity and broad working media, but it does not provide institution-grade support for a specific movement, a detailed chronology, recurring subjects, or named series; those aspects should remain open pending stronger museum, estate, or scholarly documentation.

## Common works and media

Auction records associated with Ofek are grouped broadly into paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Because the collected sources do not establish a definitive catalogue of recurring subjects or series, an object should be classified from its actual medium, technique, dimensions, inscriptions, edition information, and documented history rather than from the artist's name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's current artist index contains 120 matched auction lots for Avram or Avraham Ofek, including 56 priced records dated from 2007 through 2025. Within that dataset, the median realized result is about $420 and the observed range is $60 to $5,400, but these figures should not be treated as a prediction for an individual object. A useful comparison should align medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, attribution, signature or inscriptions, edition details, provenance, and relevant catalogue or exhibition history. Reported auction prices may use different fee conventions, while private transactions, missing feeds, and later attribution changes may fall outside the dataset. Physical inspection and object-specific research remain necessary for a defensible appraisal.

## 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. Private sales, incomplete feeds, differing fee conventions, and attribution changes may not be fully represented.
