## About David Meshulam

David Meshulam (born 1930; authority records also contain a 1930–1987 form) is identified as a painter and sculptor. Hebrew-language reference material describes him as Israeli, while Getty-linked authority data aggregated by VIAF describes him as Bulgarian; this difference should remain visible until a fuller institutional biography resolves it. The collected sources do not establish a named movement, school, or documented series, so his work is best introduced through supported media rather than stylistic labels. Collectors may encounter Meshulam through paintings, sculpture, works on paper, prints, mixed-media objects, and editions represented in Appraisily's matched auction records. Those records show recurring public-auction activity but do not by themselves establish biography, authenticity, or the complete range of his production. Identification should therefore begin with the artist's name, dates or inscriptions, medium, signature, and provenance, then be checked against reliable catalogues and comparable documented works.

## Common works and media

Auction records associated with Meshulam include paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed-media works, decorative objects, and editions. Because the collected biographical sources do not define specific subjects, series, or career periods, individual works should be described from observable evidence rather than assigned to an unsupported body of work.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's matched market data places David Meshulam across paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. A useful appraisal should compare like with like: medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, and attribution confidence can all affect how a work relates to recorded sales. Exhibition history and catalogue references may provide additional context where documented. Public results should not be treated as automatic price predictions, especially when records are sparse for a particular work type. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, fee conventions, and later attribution changes can also limit direct comparison.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public sales are evidence inputs, not substitutes for authentication, condition review, or a work-specific appraisal.
