## About Charles Fazzino

Charles Fazzino (born 1956) is an American pop artist best known for his vibrant, three-dimensional silkscreen serigraphs that layer hand-cut elements into detailed, textured compositions. Working from his studio, Fazzino developed a distinctive 3D pop art technique in which each print is individually assembled, glued, and embellished, making every finished piece unique within its edition. His subjects span urban cityscapes — especially New York — major sporting events, celebrity culture, and international landmarks. Fazzino has produced official artwork for the Super Bowl, Major League Baseball All-Star Games, the Grammy Awards, and the FIFA World Cup, among other high-profile commissions. His work is sold through a network of authorized galleries and has been exhibited widely across the United States and abroad.

## Common works and media

The most commonly encountered Fazzino works are limited-edition silkscreen serigraphs produced as 3D layered prints, often depicting cityscapes (particularly New York), sporting events, pop-culture icons, and holiday themes. He also produces mixed-media originals, hand-embellished artist proofs, small-scale sculptures, and commissioned event posters. Edition sizes vary, and many prints include hand-cut layering that makes each piece slightly unique within the run.

## Market and appraisal context

Charles Fazzino maintains a highly active and liquid secondary market with 795 recorded auction lots spanning April 2004 through April 2026, of which 656 carry realized prices. The market is dominated by limited-edition 3D silkscreen serigraphs, with mixed-media originals and sculptures appearing less frequently. The interquartile price band (P25–P75) runs from $375 to $1,000 USD, with a median of $550, indicating that most standard-edition serigraphs trade in the mid-three-figure range. Prices above $2,000 are typically associated with larger-format works, deluxe or remarqued editions, and sought-after subjects such as New York City panoramas. A single outlier reached $200,000, likely a unique mixed-media original or major commissioned piece. Liquidity remains strong: 91 lots sold in the trailing twelve months (May 2025–April 2026) versus 104 in the prior twelve months, a modest decline that is consistent with normal auction-cycle variation rather than softening demand. Ten or more auction houses have offered Fazzino works repeatedly, with Clarke Auction Gallery, Hill Auction Gallery, RoGallery, Market Auctions, and Sarasota Estate Auction among the most frequent. The broad house distribution signals healthy geographic and venue-level demand across the United States and occasionally Europe (Auktionshaus Stahl in Germany, Louiza Auktion in France).

### Appraisal notes

An Appraisily appraisal for a Charles Fazzino work would use these auction records as the primary comparable-sales database. To produce a defensible valuation, the appraiser would need from the client: (1) clear photographs showing the layered 3D construction and any hand-embellishment; (2) exact dimensions of the image and frame; (3) confirmation of medium—silkscreen serigraph, mixed-media original, or sculpture; (4) signature and edition numbering (e.g., 'XX/XXX' or 'AP'); (5) a certificate of authenticity from the artist's studio or an authorized gallery; (6) condition report addressing adhesive integrity, surface wear, fading, and framing quality, since the glued layered construction is vulnerable to aging; and (7) provenance history including gallery of purchase. The appraiser would then filter comparable lots by medium, subject theme, edition type (regular, deluxe, artist proof, remarqued), approximate date of edition, and sale recency, giving strongest weight to sales within 24 months. The wide price dispersion ($25–$200,000) makes medium and edition identification critical; an unframed standard-edition cityscape serigraph and a large mixed-media original are not comparable despite sharing the artist's name.

### Collector notes

- If you are considering selling a Charles Fazzino work, expect most standard-edition 3D serigraphs to realize between $350 and $1,000 at auction, with deluxe editions and sought-after NYC or sports themes reaching $1,000–$2,700. Mixed-media originals can trade higher but are less frequently seen at auction. If you are buying, the same price band applies—be cautious of asking prices well above $1,000 for standard editions without verifying edition type, size, and recent comparable results. Always request a certificate of authenticity and inspect the condition of the 3D layering carefully before purchase. Framing quality matters both for preservation and value; poorly framed works with adhesive damage or UV fading will trade at the lower end of the range. The market is liquid enough that you can generally find comparable results for most common editions within the past two years.

### Market caveats

- The $200,000 maximum recorded price is an extreme outlier and should not be used as a benchmark for standard-edition serigraphs; it likely represents a unique or major original work.
- Auction records include 139 lots (17.5% of the total) without published realized prices; these are excluded from the price distribution and may include unsold lots, withdrawn lots, or post-sale private transactions.
- The trailing twelve months (91 lots) shows a 12.5% decline from the prior period (104 lots); this is within normal auction-cycle variation but should be monitored over subsequent quarters.
- Some auction catalogues list the artist's birth year as 1955 while authoritative library records (Library of Congress, German National Library) record 1956; this discrepancy does not affect attribution or valuation.
- Fazzino's prolific output and frequent new editions mean that supply continuously enters the secondary market, which can limit price appreciation for standard editions over time.
- All price data is drawn from Appraisily's auction-record index and reflects reported auction results; private gallery sales and dealer transactions are not captured.
