## About Frank Diaz Escalet

Frank Diaz Escalet (1930–2012) is identified in international library authority records as a painter and artist whose fields of activity included painting and leatherwork. The available authority data also records the inverted name form “Diaz Escalet, Frank,” helping distinguish his work in catalogues and collection records. Appraisily's matched auction data places works associated with Escalet across several broad categories, including paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture or mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on objects made in different formats rather than within one narrowly documented body of work. The collected sources do not establish his nationality, training, movement affiliation, preferred subjects, or exact birth and death dates. Those details should remain unassigned until supported by a museum, estate, scholarly catalogue, or fuller biographical record.

## Common works and media

Authority data specifically connects Escalet with painting and leatherwork. Appraisily's matched auction records also place attributed works in broader categories covering paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. These classifications describe how records appear in auction data; they do not independently establish a definitive catalogue of the artist's production. Medium, construction, signature, inscriptions, and edition details should be checked on each object.

## Market and appraisal context

Public auction records associated with Frank Diaz Escalet provide a useful starting point for comparison, but broad category labels should not be treated as proof that two objects are equivalent. Appraisal should prioritize medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, and attribution confidence. Comparable sales are most informative when the works closely match on those characteristics and on subject matter. Appraisily's current artist index contains matched records spanning multiple categories, but private transactions and incomplete auction feeds may be absent. Reported prices may also differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees, so like-for-like comparison is important.

## 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.
