## Artist identity



## About Gong Qi

Gong Qi is the name attached to a group of public auction records in Appraisily's market index, but the collected identity evidence does not yet support a reliable artist biography. The authority result found for this name describes a politician, while its linked Chinese-language article concerns a Ming-period official born in 1399. Neither source connects that person to the auctioned works. The auction index also associates the records with the names ch'i kung, k'i kong, and yuanbai, which may indicate a reversed-name or transliteration issue, but that possibility remains unverified. Consequently, no birth dates, nationality, artistic movement, career period, or preferred medium should be assigned from this source pack. Collectors encountering a work attributed to Gong Qi should rely on the object's signature, inscriptions, provenance, exhibition or catalogue history, and comparison with securely identified works before drawing conclusions about authorship.

## Common works and media

The current index applies broad categories including paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. These labels do not establish that a single identified artist worked in every category. Until individual lots and their attributions are reviewed, no particular medium, subject, series, or edition type can be described as characteristic of Gong Qi.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily currently reports 10 matched auction records for Gong Qi, six of which include prices, across the period 2008–2025. That is a limited and potentially mixed record set, so its results should be treated as leads for comparison rather than a dependable market benchmark. An appraisal should first resolve the maker's identity and then compare works sharing the same medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, attribution level, and edition status. Signatures, inscriptions, provenance, restoration history, exhibition records, and catalogue references can materially affect comparability. Reported prices should also be normalized for currency, sale date, and whether buyer premiums or other fees are included.

## 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. Here, identity evidence is insufficient, so the auction data should be reviewed at lot level before it is used for attribution or appraisal.
