## About Frank Gallo

Frank Gallo (1933–2019) was an American artist identified by library-authority records as a sculptor. Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN link the same identity, while the Museum of Modern Art maintains an artist record for him. The collected sources do not establish a specific movement, school, or detailed chronology, so this profile avoids assigning one. In auction contexts, works attributed to Gallo appear across sculpture and mixed media, works on paper and prints, fine art and paintings, and decorative art or edition categories. That range helps explain why collectors may encounter his name on objects with different formats rather than in a single narrowly defined market segment. Because the available institutional source excerpts are stronger on identity than on biography or artistic development, an appraisal should begin by confirming that a work belongs to this Frank Gallo and by examining its medium, inscriptions, date, edition information, condition, and documented provenance.

## Common works and media

Auction records group works attributed to Frank Gallo under sculpture and mixed media, works on paper and prints, fine art and paintings, and decorative art or editions. These are broad auction classifications rather than a complete catalogue of his production. For an individual object, record its materials, measurements, signature or inscriptions, date, edition number when applicable, condition, and provenance before selecting comparable sales.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public market summary lists 182 matched records, including 125 priced records, across an observed auction-date range of 2002–2026. The same page reports realized prices from $30 to $16,800, but those endpoints should not be treated as predictions for another work. A useful comparison should match medium, size, date, subject, condition, attribution confidence, provenance, and edition status as closely as possible. Reporting conventions may also differ among auction houses, particularly in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees. The page contains differing summary counts for tracked lots and total records, so the underlying comparable set should be checked when a precise market analysis is required.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales, incomplete feeds, changing attributions, and inconsistent price reporting may limit the record.
