## About David Uhl

David Uhl is an American artist associated especially with oil paintings of vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycles. His best-known body of work includes the Women of Harley-Davidson collection, which combines motorcycle imagery with figurative subjects. These themes give his work a recognizable identity for collectors interested in transportation art, motorcycle history, and related Americana. Paintings are the clearest documented part of his practice in the collected sources, although auction listings may also place works attributed to him in broader categories such as prints, works on paper, mixed media, sculpture, decorative art, and editions. The available public identity record is limited: Wikidata identifies him simply as an American artist, while the collected Wikipedia profile supplies the more specific medium, subject, and series information. No supported birth date or formal art movement appears in this source pack, so those details are intentionally left unspecified.

## Common works and media

Collectors are most likely to encounter oil paintings centered on vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycles, including figurative imagery associated with the Women of Harley-Davidson collection. Appraisily's matched auction data also uses broader classifications covering paintings, prints and works on paper, sculpture and mixed media, decorative art, and editions. Because the public record is thin, the medium, authorship, signature, edition status, and relationship to a documented series should be verified for each object rather than inferred from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

David Uhl's collected Appraisily market snapshot contains only a small number of matched public auction records, making close comparison more useful than a broad artist-level average. An appraisal should compare the same medium and work type while considering dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, attribution confidence, and subject matter. Motorcycle paintings and works connected with the Women of Harley-Davidson collection should not automatically be treated as equivalent to prints, mixed-media objects, or decorative editions. Public results are reference points rather than price predictions: private transactions may be absent, reporting practices can differ, and incomplete feeds or later attribution changes can alter the apparent market picture. Authentication and direct examination of condition remain important before reaching a value conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Thin or conflicting evidence is identified rather than treated as conclusive.
