## About Cundo Bermúdez

Cundo Bermúdez (1914–2008), born Secundino Bermúdez y Delgado, was a Cuban painter whose authority records also identify him as a ceramicist and printmaker. His presence in the Museum of Modern Art artist index and in Getty, VIAF, and Library of Congress authority systems provides collectors with an established identity trail across museum and bibliographic databases. The supplied sources do not establish a specific movement, recurring subject, or named series, so those labels should not be inferred. In auction and appraisal settings, works attributed to Bermúdez may appear as paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture or mixed media, decorative art, and editions. Appraisily’s matched public auction data spans 2003–2025, providing a sizable comparison set while also showing why medium, date, authorship evidence, condition, and provenance must be assessed lot by lot. This profile therefore separates well-supported identity facts from broader market classifications.

## Common works and media

Collectors may encounter Bermúdez’s work as paintings, prints and other works on paper, ceramics, editions, or objects classified in auction data as sculpture, mixed media, or decorative art. Authority records firmly support his roles as painter, ceramicist, and printmaker. The supplied sources do not identify recurring subjects, named series, standard edition sizes, or a documented hierarchy among these media, so each object should be classified from its physical characteristics, inscriptions, provenance, and reliable attribution evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily lists 171 matched public auction records, including 82 priced records, across 2003–2025. These records provide a comparison set, not a standalone valuation. An appraisal should compare works with similar medium, size, date, career period, subject, condition, restoration history, signature or inscriptions, edition status, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references. Reported auction totals may treat buyer premiums or fees differently, while private sales and incomplete feeds may be absent. Authentication and physical condition can materially alter conclusions. Recent comparable sales should therefore be filtered for genuine similarity rather than applying the page-wide median or observed range without adjustment.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales, incomplete feeds, fee-reporting differences, and attribution changes may not be fully represented.
