## About Gunter Damisch

Gunter Damisch (1958–2016) was an Austrian painter active across the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. German-language biographical material also identifies him as a sculptor, while the IdRef authority record connects his published and catalogued activity with drawing, engraving, illustration, and photography. Library records document drawings, exhibition catalogues, reproductions of works, and a Museum Würth collection exhibition, showing that his practice circulated through both original works and printed documentation. Collectors may therefore encounter Damisch through paintings, works on paper, sculptural objects, prints, or books and catalogues associated with his exhibitions. A collected discovery source associates him with the Neue Wilde, but the available source pack lacks museum or scholarly corroboration strong enough to treat that movement label as settled. His identity is nevertheless well established across Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, IdRef, and national-library authority systems, supporting reliable matching across catalogues and auction records.

## Common works and media

Authority and bibliographic records support a practice centered on painting, with sculpture also identified in German-language biographical material. IdRef links Damisch to drawings and records roles including engraver and illustrator. Works encountered in cataloguing or appraisal contexts may therefore include paintings, drawings and other works on paper, sculptural works, engravings or prints, and artist-related books or exhibition catalogues. The collected pack does not establish recurring subjects, named series, edition formats, or a hierarchy among these media.

## Market and appraisal context

The supplied Appraisily input associates 231 auction-directory records with Gunter Damisch, but the collected pack does not expose individual lot descriptions, estimates, realized prices, sale dates, or condition reports. That count establishes only that records are associated with the artist page; it does not establish a price level, trend, category hierarchy, or market premium. The source pack also provides no evidence quantifying how medium, dimensions, date, subject, provenance, condition, attribution, or edition status relate to results. Accordingly, this profile makes no pricing prediction. A market appraisal should use the underlying public sale records and compare genuinely similar objects only after the work and its cataloguing have been independently documented.

## 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 provides strong identity evidence but only a directory-level auction count.
