## About Gotthard Graubner

Gotthard Graubner (1930–2013) was a German artist and painter whose career is documented by museum records and international library authorities. The collected bibliographic evidence identifies painting as his central field while also recording drawings, watercolors, and other works on paper. Exhibition catalogues cover paintings and works on paper from 1958–1975 and drawings and watercolors from 1946–1986, indicating a practice extending across several decades and multiple paper-based media. IdRef also links records associated with the 1982 Venice Biennale, a 1980 painting exhibition, and the 1981 Fifth Triennale-India. MoMA, Getty ULAN, Wikidata, and IdRef maintain stable public records for his identity. Collectors may therefore encounter Graubner’s name on paintings as well as drawings, watercolors, and related works on paper offered through the secondary market.

## Common works and media

Documented categories include paintings, drawings, watercolors, and broader works on paper. The collected bibliography records painting and paper-based work across several decades, including catalogues covering 1958–1975 and drawings and watercolors spanning 1946–1986. The source pack does not establish recurring subjects, named series, editions, sculpture, ceramics, or poster production.

## Market and appraisal context

Graubner’s market evidence should be compared by medium and work type. A painting should not automatically be assessed against a drawing or watercolor, and dated works should be considered in relation to documented periods of activity. Appraisily’s artist page indicates a substantial body of auction records, but the collected source excerpts do not provide major-auction-house analysis or enough lot-level detail to support a price trend or prediction. A careful appraisal should use comparable public sales with relevant sale dates and realized prices while confirming that the compared objects are genuinely similar in category and date.

## 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.
