## About Chiho Aoshima

Chiho Aoshima is a Japanese artist born in 1974. International authority records identify her as an artist and, more specifically, a Japanese computer artist; her name also appears in Japanese script as 青島千穂. Public biographical sources place her birth in Tokyo and connect her practice with pop art and Takashi Murakami’s Kaikai Kiki collective. They also report that she studied economics at Hosei University before developing her art career and participated in an Artpace residency in San Antonio in 2006. Museum and authority profiles from MoMA, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and Wikidata provide stable identifiers that help distinguish her from similarly named people and connect institutional, library, and auction references. Collectors may therefore encounter Aoshima’s name in contemporary-art catalogues, computer-art descriptions, and auction databases, although the collected sources do not establish a complete chronology, catalogue of works, or detailed medium-by-medium overview.

## Common works and media

The source pack identifies Aoshima as a computer artist and associates her with pop art, but it does not provide a sufficiently detailed catalogue of her media, subjects, editions, or recurring series. The safest supported general description is computer-based contemporary art. Individual objects should be classified from their own cataloguing, inscriptions, images, dimensions, and edition details rather than from an unsupported generalized list of work types.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected sources provide strong identity evidence but little lot-level market detail. Appraisily’s artist page is the only market-oriented source in this pack; no major auction-house biography or individual sale record was supplied. A responsible appraisal should first confirm that the attribution matches Chiho Aoshima’s authority identities and then consult comparable public auction records for closely related objects. Medium, dimensions, edition information, condition, provenance, subject, date, and sale context should be established from the specific object and underlying lot records rather than inferred from this short biography. Realized prices document past transactions and should not be treated as automatic estimates for a different work.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity and authority records with auction data. When records are available, appraisal research may also consider auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots; those market observations remain separate from artist-identity evidence and object-specific attribution.
