## About Georg Schrimpf

Georg Schrimpf (1889–1938) was a German painter, graphic artist, and engraver associated with Neue Sachlichkeit, or New Objectivity. Born in Munich and later dying in Berlin, he worked during the period in which this movement emerged in Weimar Germany. Museum and library authority records consistently identify him as both a painter and a maker of graphic work, while bibliographic evidence also documents his activity as an engraver and illustrator. Schrimpf is therefore encountered through more than one collecting category: paintings may appear alongside prints, drawings, and other works on paper. His established association with New Objectivity is central to identifying and contextualizing his work, although the source pack does not document individual subjects or named series in enough detail to summarize them safely. Collectors researching a work attributed to Schrimpf should distinguish the object's medium and type before comparing it with public records.

## Common works and media

Works encountered in auction and appraisal contexts may include paintings, prints or engravings, drawings, and other graphic works. The authority evidence also documents chalk drawings connected with Schrimpf's work as an illustrator. The collected sources do not provide enough detail to identify recurring subjects, named series, edition sizes, or print techniques more narrowly.

## Market and appraisal context

Schrimpf's market record should be interpreted by work category rather than as a single undifferentiated body of sales. The collected authorities describe him as a painter, graphic artist, and engraver, so a painting should be compared with paintings, while prints, engravings, and drawings require their own relevant comparables. Appraisily's source input associates 232 auction records with the artist, but the present research pack does not include the underlying lot descriptions or realized-price data needed to characterize price levels or trends. Any appraisal should therefore verify the object's medium and attribution and then examine matching public auction records without inferring value from the artist name 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 and sufficiently documented.
