## About Frédéric Menguy

Frédéric Menguy (1927–2007) was a French painter and lithographer born in Paris’s 20th arrondissement. Authority records from Wikidata, the BnF, IdRef, Getty ULAN, and RKD identify the same artist across library and art-reference systems, providing a useful foundation for entity matching. The available biography says that he first lived in Paris and settled in Villeneuve-la-Rivière in the Pyrénées-Orientales in 1967. It also associates his painting with the École de Paris, although this movement link still needs confirmation from an institution-grade biography. Collectors may encounter Menguy through paintings, lithographs, and related graphic material. A Paris Musées-linked collection record, for example, documents a photomechanical reproduction of one of his paintings rather than a portrait of the artist. That distinction matters because reproductions, original prints, and paintings are not interchangeable objects. Menguy’s authority identifiers and presence in auction records make consistent naming and careful medium identification important when comparing works.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under Frédéric Menguy’s name may include paintings and lithographs. Collectors may also encounter graphic reproductions after his paintings, including photomechanical material documented in museum-linked collection metadata. An appraisal should identify whether an object is an original painting, an original lithograph, another form of print, or a reproduction before comparing it with auction records.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by separating Menguy’s paintings from lithographs, other prints, and later reproductions. The collected sources confirm his work as a painter and lithographer, while Appraisily’s artist page indicates that public auction-price records are associated with his name. This source pack does not expose individual sale dates, realized prices, condition reports, provenance histories, or edition statements, however. Those details should be verified in the underlying lot records before selecting comparables or drawing a value conclusion. No artist-specific price trend, scarcity claim, or forecast is supported by the collected evidence.

## 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. For Frédéric Menguy, the present evidence is stronger for identity than for individual market results, so object-level auction documentation should be reviewed before valuation.
