## About Bibi Zogbé

Bibi Zogbé (1890–1975) was a Lebanese-born painter who established her career in Buenos Aires and is identified in public authority data as Argentine. Flowers and wild plants became her defining subjects, earning her the name “La Pintora de Flores.” Her compositions include floral and symbolically charged still lifes as well as portraits. Zogbé also worked while traveling through Dakar, Beirut, and Paris, and her exhibition history extended to countries including Chile, Brazil, Cuba, and the United States. Recent scholarship and collecting interest have increasingly situated her within twentieth-century Arab and Lebanese modernism, although the collected source pack provides this movement association through a secondary biographical source rather than a museum catalogue. Collectors are most likely to encounter her through paintings centered on flowers, plants, and still-life arrangements. Her cross-cultural biography, distinctive subject matter, and renewed modernist context are important when identifying and comparing works attributed to her.

## Common works and media

Zogbé is principally documented as a painter of flowers, wild flora, symbolic still lifes, and portraits. Appraisily's market index also groups matched records under works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Those broader labels may reflect auction-house classification, so each lot's medium, support, signature, edition statement, and attribution wording should be verified individually before it is treated as representative of her established body of work.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public market index currently reports matched auction records dated from 2015 through 2026, including 108 priced records within a set of 137 records. A meaningful comparison should pair a work with lots of similar medium, dimensions, date, subject, and attribution status rather than relying on an artist-wide statistic. Condition, restoration, signature and inscriptions, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references may all affect comparability. Reported auction prices can also differ in whether they include buyer's premiums or other fees. Public results are therefore evidence for appraisal, not a price prediction, and should be considered alongside physical examination, ownership documentation, and current attribution research.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales, incomplete feeds, fee conventions, and later attribution changes may not be captured.
