## About Carles Nadal Farreras

Carles Nadal Farreras, widely identified in public authority and collection records as Carlos Nadal, was a Spanish painter who lived from 1917 to 1998. He is associated with the Fauvist school, a context that helps explain the prominence of color and painterly expression in discussions of his work. Publicly catalogued paintings include Concert, L'hiver, La Terraza, Eglise Vynet, Sitges, Barcelona, and S. Juan, Madrid. These records point to an interest in concerts, city settings, terraces, buildings, and places encountered through travel or observation. Art UK records his work in public collections including the Mercer Art Gallery in Harrogate and the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery at the University of Leeds. Collectors may encounter his work under either Carlos Nadal or Carles Nadal, so names, signatures, inscriptions, and documented provenance should be considered together when matching an object to the artist.

## Common works and media

Collectors are most likely to encounter paintings, including colorful city, architectural, terrace, seasonal, and concert subjects. Art UK documents examples titled Concert, L'hiver, La Terraza, Eglise Vynet, Sitges, Barcelona, and S. Juan, Madrid. Appraisily's matched auction records also place works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions under this artist identity. Because those secondary categories are broadly grouped, the medium, construction, edition status, signature, and provenance of an individual object should be verified rather than inferred from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

The auction record associated with Carles Nadal Farreras spans paintings and other categories, but any appraisal should begin with closely comparable works rather than a market-wide average. Medium, dimensions, execution date, subject, condition, restoration, signature, inscriptions, and provenance can all affect comparability. Exhibition history, catalogue references, edition information where applicable, and confidence in the attribution also matter. Publicly recorded sales can provide useful benchmarks when their dates, price conventions, and object characteristics are aligned. They do not capture every private transaction, and some published totals may include buyer premiums or fees. A physical condition review and careful identity matching are therefore important before drawing a valuation conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity records with matched public auction data. When available, the evidence includes auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, images, and comparable lots; private sales, incomplete feeds, and attribution changes may not be represented.
