## About Freddy Timms

Freddy Timms, also recorded as Freddie Timms, was an Australian Indigenous artist associated with the Kimberley region. Authority records identify him as an Australian artist born in 1946, while a French-language biographical record gives his death year as 2017. The VIAF authority record connects his identity with titles referring to Country, waterways, settlements and stations, including Turkey Creek, Texas Downs, Bow River, Violet Valley and Waterhole Dreaming. These records indicate a strong place-based context, although the collected sources do not establish a formal movement, working medium or complete chronology. Collectors and researchers may encounter his name in either the Freddy or Freddie spelling, making authority-based identity matching particularly important. The Appraisily input reports a substantial body of associated auction records, but the lot-level evidence was not accessible in this research pack.

## Common works and media

The VIAF authority record associates Freddie Timms with place-oriented titles including Black Fellow Creek Country, Emu on Turkey Creek and Texas Downs, Greenvale Old Station near Bow River, Violet Valley and Waterhole Dreaming, as well as several untitled works. This supports a documented connection with Kimberley Country and named locations. The collected sources do not reliably identify the media, dimensions, editions or production periods of these works, so those characteristics should be verified from the object and its specific auction or collection record.

## Market and appraisal context

The available sources establish the artist's identity and document several work titles, but they do not expose individual auction lots, realized prices, media, dimensions, editions, condition reports or provenance. A careful appraisal should therefore begin by reconciling the Freddy and Freddie name forms and comparing any title or named location with documented authority metadata. The object's medium, size, date, condition, provenance and attribution would require direct examination and lot-level evidence before they could support a valuation. Appraisily's input associates this artist with 218 auction records, but the public artist page was rate-limited during collection; no price trend or prediction is supported by this source pack alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices and comparable lots when those records are available. This source pack supports identity and title context but not lot-level market conclusions.
