## About Clifford Hall

Clifford Hall, whose full name was Clifford Eric Martin Hall, was a British painter who lived from 1904 to 1973. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and Art UK distinguish him from other people with the same name. Available biographical material associates Hall with street scenes, bohemian life, and figurative subjects. A particularly recognizable post-war phase depicts people partly wrapped or concealed by towels and blankets, sometimes turned away from the viewer. Collectors may encounter his work through paintings as well as auction records classified under works on paper and prints. The surviving source pack does not establish a formal movement securely enough to assign one, so Hall is best described through his nationality, occupation, subjects, and documented post-war imagery. Identity checks remain important because the name Clifford Hall is not unique and auction records may use either his short or full name.

## Common works and media

Clifford Hall is principally identified as a painter. Public biographical material particularly connects him with street scenes, bohemian life, and post-war figures partly covered by towels or blankets. Appraisily's auction index also places matched records in works on paper and prints, with some records assigned to broader sculpture, mixed-media, decorative-art, and edition categories. Those broader classifications should not be treated as a definitive catalogue of Hall's practice without inspecting the individual objects. For any proposed work, record the medium, support, dimensions, subject, signature and inscriptions, date, condition, provenance, and edition details before choosing comparable sales.

## Market and appraisal context

Public auction records provide a useful starting point for evaluating Clifford Hall, but a result becomes relevant only when the artist identity and object characteristics align. Appraisily's matched index currently spans sales dated from 2001 through 2026 and reports both priced and unpriced records. For appraisal purposes, compare works by medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, and attribution status. Signature, inscriptions, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and edition information may also affect comparability. Recent results for genuinely similar objects are more informative than an overall median or the widest observed price range. Broad auction-category matches should be reviewed lot by lot because private sales, incomplete feeds, reporting conventions, and later attribution changes may not appear consistently in public data.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine authority-based artist identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Records should be checked for identity, attribution, condition, and like-for-like comparability.
