## About David Manzur Londoño

David Manzur Londoño, commonly known as David Manzur, is a Colombian painter born in 1929. Public biographical sources connect his artistic education with the Art Students League of New York, Pratt Institute, and the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Bogotá. He is also described as a two-time Guggenheim Fellowship recipient. Sources identify still lifes, mounted knights, and saints among his recurring subjects, giving collectors several useful themes for distinguishing and comparing works associated with him. His identity appears in public authority systems under the full name David Manzur Londoño, while shorter cataloguing commonly uses David Manzur. The collected evidence does not establish a single formal movement or school, so his work should not be assigned to one without stronger documentation. Collectors encounter his paintings through auction records and catalogues, where accurate name matching, subject identification, and object-specific documentation are important.

## Common works and media

Collectors are most likely to encounter paintings catalogued under David Manzur or David Manzur Londoño. Documented subjects include still lifes, mounted knights, and saints. The source pack does not provide sufficient evidence to characterize particular print editions, sculptures, drawings, ceramics, named series, or preferred painting supports, so those classifications should be verified from the individual object and its documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal of a work attributed to David Manzur Londoño should begin by matching it with records for both the full name and the shorter David Manzur form. The available sources identify painting as his principal field and document recurring subjects including still lifes, mounted knights, and saints, making comparisons within the same work type and subject more useful than an undifferentiated artist-wide comparison. Appraisily’s artist page supplies an auction-record signal, but the collected source pack does not include readable lot-level evidence from a major auction house. It therefore does not support a price trend, typical value, or record-price claim. Condition, provenance, dimensions, date, signatures, attribution, and any edition information still require examination of the individual object.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Conclusions remain limited by the quality and specificity of the available sources.
