## About Francisco Farreras

Francisco Farreras (1927–2021) was a Spanish painter whose public identity is well established through Wikidata, VIAF, and the Getty Union List of Artist Names. Authority records also connect the shorter professional name with Francisco Farreras Ricart and the Catalan form Francesc Farreras i Ricart. The available Spanish-language overview describes him as an abstract artist and discusses geometric abstraction, abstract expressionism, and informalism as possible contexts, while also noting that his work resists a single neat classification. Because the collected institutional pages from MoMA and Tate could not be fetched successfully, this profile avoids adding unsupported chronology, exhibitions, or named series. Collectors encounter Farreras chiefly through paintings and auction records, but individual works should be matched carefully against the authority name forms and the evidence attached to each lot.

## Common works and media

The collected sources identify Farreras as a painter and describe his practice in abstract terms. Paintings are therefore the best-supported common work type in this profile. The source pack does not establish a reliable list of recurring subjects, print editions, drawings, sculptures, named series, or specific supports, so such categories should be added only when documented in auction-house or institutional records for an individual work.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal of a Francisco Farreras work should begin with identity: catalogue or auction references may use Francisco Farreras, Francisco Farreras Ricart, or Francesc Farreras i Ricart. The source pack supports painting and an abstract context, but it does not provide lot-level evidence for particular supports, dimensions, dates, condition, provenance, or series. Those details should therefore be verified from the object and its documentation rather than inferred from the artist name. When public auction records are available, the most useful comparisons are works securely matched to the same artist and similar in medium, work type, date, size, and sale context. This profile does not support a price forecast or a claim of market trend.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Source limitations and unresolved identity or market questions are retained rather than replaced with unsupported assumptions.
