## About Fred Thieler

Fred Thieler (1916–1999), born Fritz Wilhelm Richard Thieler, was a German painter associated with Informel. The collected identity sources consistently describe him as a painter, and the available German reference entry places his work within the Informel context. A French reference records his birth in Königsberg on March 17, 1916, and his death in Berlin on June 6, 1999. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Thieler in connection with German painting and Informel rather than with a documented figurative subject category or named series. His identity is also represented across stable international authority systems, including Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and the German National Library. Those identifiers help reconcile variations of his name across collection catalogs, bibliographic records, and auction listings, although the supplied source pack does not provide detailed museum or catalogue-raisonné documentation of his career.

## Common works and media

The available sources support paintings as the principal work type associated with Fred Thieler and place him in the Informel context. They do not provide enough detail to name recurring subjects, specific painting techniques, print editions, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or formally defined series. Objects outside the broad category of painting therefore require additional artist-specific documentation before being characterized as common Thieler works.

## Market and appraisal context

Fred Thieler’s market context should be assessed through documented individual sales rather than broad price predictions. The collected Appraisily source identifies an auction-price page for the artist, but the supplied public excerpts do not expose lot-level titles, dimensions, dates, condition reports, provenance, estimates, or realized prices. This research can identify paintings as the relevant broad auction category and connect Thieler with Informel, while work-specific appraisal still requires careful identity and attribution review. Comparable records should be evaluated only when their cataloguing and work type can be matched responsibly to the object under consideration.

## 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. Claims remain limited when the collected sources do not provide work-level or sale-level evidence.
