# Don Hatfield artist context and auction value notes Canonical page: https://appraisily.com/artist/don-hatfield/ Profile generated: 2026-08-24T11:34:17.665Z Quality: low confidence, thin sources ## Artist identity ## About Don Hatfield Don Hatfield is the name used for a set of auction records in Appraisily's artist market index. The available public source pack does not establish a verified biography, nationality, life dates, training, artistic movement, or documented body of work for the visual artist represented by those records. A same-name Wikipedia page concerns an English professional rugby league footballer, so it is a likely identity collision and is not evidence about the artist. The auction records should therefore be treated as name-matched market evidence rather than a fully resolved artist identity. Collectors may encounter works catalogued under Don Hatfield across several broad sale categories, but the supplied evidence does not show whether every lot belongs to one person or whether multiple makers share the name. Institution-grade, estate, gallery, or signed-work documentation is needed before adding biographical claims. ## Common works and media The available auction snapshot assigns Don Hatfield records to broad categories including fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. The source also says category concentration is broad or sparse. These labels indicate where name-matched lots may appear, but they do not verify that every category belongs to one artist or establish which medium is characteristic. Appraisal research should begin with the individual object's materials, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, edition details, subject, condition, and provenance. ## Market and appraisal context The collected Appraisily snapshot lists 53 name-matched auction records, including 32 priced records dated from 2014 through 2026, with observed results between US$25 and US$2,320. These figures describe the available record set and are not a price prediction. A useful appraisal should compare works with similar medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, signature or inscription, edition information, provenance, and attribution strength. Restoration, exhibition history, catalogue references, rarity, and recent comparable public sales may also matter. Because the artist identity remains unresolved and auction feeds can be incomplete, individual lots should be checked carefully before the records are treated as evidence for a particular maker. ## 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. Here, biographical evidence is thin and the auction data should be interpreted with identity-resolution caveats. ## Sources - Appraisily: https://appraisily.com/artist/don-hatfield/ - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Hatfield - Appraisily: https://appraisily.com/artist/don-hatfield/
