## About Camille Louis Graeser

Camille Louis Graeser (1892–1980), commonly listed as Camille Graeser, was a Swiss painter, graphic artist, designer, and interior architect associated with the Zurich school of Concrete art. Born in Carouge, he grew up in Stuttgart, where his early career included furniture and interior design. He participated in Werkbund exhibitions and was invited in 1927 to create furniture for Mies van der Rohe. Graeser left Germany for Switzerland in 1933 after the Nazis came to power and later joined Allianz, a Swiss artists' association. Collectors encounter his name in connection with Concrete art as well as his broader design practice. Museum and authority profiles identify him across institutional catalogues, while Appraisily's artist index provides a starting point for locating public auction records and comparing appropriately attributed, dated works.

## Common works and media

Public biographical records identify Graeser as a painter, graphic artist, furniture designer, and interior architect. Objects presented for appraisal may therefore include paintings, graphic works, furniture or interior-design material, and related design documentation. The collected source pack does not establish the relative auction frequency, typical subjects, edition structures, or usual formats of these categories, so each object should be classified from its physical evidence and cataloguing rather than from the artist's name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should first establish whether an object belongs to Graeser's painting, graphic-art, furniture-design, or interior-design practice and place its date within his documented career. The collected sources do not provide accessible major-auction-house analysis, category-level sale distributions, or evidence for price forecasts. Where public auction records are available, comparisons should use closely related work types and verify attribution language, date, dimensions, condition, provenance, sale date, and realized price in the individual records. Graeser's association with Zurich Concrete art supplies useful historical context, but it does not by itself establish an object's authorship, authenticity, or market value.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with indexed auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Source gaps and unresolved identity or market questions are retained rather than replaced with unsupported assumptions.
