## About Clifford Fishwick

Clifford Fishwick (1923–1997) was a British painter and printmaker associated with the post-war British art context. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN align on his identity, lifespan, and professional classification. He also worked in art education and is recorded as having served as Principal of Exeter College of Art and Design. Fishwick exhibited regularly with the Newlyn and Penwith Societies, connecting his career with important artistic networks in southwest England. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with paintings and prints. The available evidence supports his identity, dates, occupations, and exhibiting associations more firmly than it supports a detailed stylistic chronology or named bodies of work. For that reason, post-war British painting is treated here as a broad historical context rather than a narrowly defined movement, and no unsupported claims are made about signature subjects, techniques, or changes in his market.

## Common works and media

Fishwick is documented as both a painter and printmaker, making paintings and prints the best-supported work types for cataloguing and auction comparison. The collected sources do not establish particular subjects, print processes, edition practices, or named series, so works should be classified from direct examination and their accompanying records.

## Market and appraisal context

The source pack establishes that Fishwick worked as both painter and printmaker, so market research should first separate paintings from prints and compare like with like. Appraisily records indicate auction activity, but the collected material does not expose individual lot descriptions, sale dates, estimates, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, dimensions, or edition details. This profile therefore cannot establish a reliable price range, market trend, premium subject, or premium period. A defensible appraisal requires object-level evidence and dated comparable lots from the same work category. Conclusions about attribution, condition, provenance, or edition status must come from the work and its documentation rather than from an artist-level profile alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Claims are limited when the collected evidence does not include accessible lot-level data.
