## About Felix Droese

Felix Droese (born 1950) is a German artist whose documented practice spans drawing, woodcut, painting, prints on paper, objects, and material collage. The collected sources do not assign him to a single named movement, so his work is best approached through its media, projects, and institutional record rather than a fixed stylistic label. A 1988 publication documents his project Haus der Waffenlosigkeit in connection with the Federal Republic of Germany and the 43rd Venice Biennale. Bibliographic records also identify artist books, exhibitions of material collages and wood-based prints, figurative works, and the Aldi-Multiple project. Collectors may therefore encounter Droese through works on paper and editions as well as paintings, objects, sculpture, and mixed-media pieces. Artist records at the Museum of Modern Art and National Gallery of Art, together with Getty, VIAF, and national-library authority identifiers, provide a stable basis for matching works and auction records to the correct artist.

## Common works and media

Auction and bibliographic records indicate that collectors may encounter drawings, woodcuts, other prints on paper, paintings, material collages, objects, sculptures, mixed-media works, and editions by Felix Droese. Artist books and project-related multiples are also documented, including the Aldi-Multiple project. For prints and multiples, edition size, numbering, signature, inscriptions, paper, and condition should be recorded. For unique works, useful appraisal details include medium, support, dimensions, date, surface condition, provenance, exhibition labels, and any catalogue references.

## Market and appraisal context

Felix Droese's market should be assessed by comparing like with like across a varied body of work. Medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, and attribution confidence can all affect relevance to a particular comparable sale. Works on paper, prints, paintings, objects, sculpture, and mixed-media pieces should not be treated as interchangeable categories. Recent public results for closely related works are more useful than a single artist-wide median. Auction databases may omit private transactions, and reported prices can differ in whether fees or buyer's premiums are included. Any appraisal should therefore verify the object itself and the reporting basis of each comparable record.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity and authority records with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public results are evidence for comparison, not a substitute for object-specific inspection, attribution, and condition review.
