## About Hansjörg Glattfelder

Hansjörg Glattfelder is a Swiss artist born in 1939. Public authority records also index his name as Hans Jörg Glattfelder and Hans-Jörg Glattfelder, variants that can help distinguish relevant catalogues and sale records. VIAF describes him through the roles of painter, author, and object artist, while German-language reference material places his practice in the context of constructive art. These sources establish a stable identity but provide only a limited account of his chronology, education, exhibitions, and individual bodies of work. Collectors researching an attributed work should therefore begin by matching the artist’s name to established authority identifiers, including Wikidata Q1580596 and VIAF 64817033. That identity-first approach is particularly useful when auction catalogues vary in their treatment of diacritics, spacing, or hyphenation in his given name. More detailed conclusions about a particular object require evidence from the work itself and its associated documentation.

## Common works and media

Authority records classify Glattfelder as a painter and object artist, supporting careful reference to paintings and object-based works in identity and catalogue research. The collected sources do not establish specific materials, recurring subjects, named series, print editions, sculptures, drawings, or other frequently traded formats. Those descriptions should be added only after examining the individual object, its documentation, and applicable catalogue or auction records.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected evidence is sufficient to identify Hansjörg Glattfelder but remains thin on transaction-level market details. Appraisily’s artist page signals auction coverage, although this source pack contains no lot descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance histories, dimensions, dates, or edition information. It therefore does not support a price forecast or a claim that one category of his work commands a particular market position. A defensible appraisal should first confirm that the object is correctly associated with Glattfelder and then assess the individual work against relevant, dated public sale records when those records are available. Name variants and stable authority identifiers can reduce the risk of mixing his records with those of another creator.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identities with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Hansjörg Glattfelder, the present source pack strongly supports identity matching but provides limited item-level market evidence.
