## Artist identity



## About Harold Cohn

Harold Cohn is identified in the collected public authority data as an artist who lived from 1908 to 1982. The available source pack does not establish his nationality, training, geographic associations, artistic movement, preferred subjects, or customary media. Collectors may nevertheless encounter the name through public auction records aggregated by Appraisily. Because the identity evidence is limited and another notable person named Harold Cohn appears in public reference results, individual works should be connected to this artist through signatures, inscriptions, provenance, exhibition records, catalogue references, or other object-specific documentation. Until stronger museum, archival, or scholarly sources are available, the name should not be assigned a more detailed biography or stylistic classification solely from auction-directory matches.

## Common works and media

The collected auction data groups Harold Cohn results under paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. These are broad indexing categories rather than a verified catalogue of the artist's customary production. A work offered under this name should be classified from its physical medium and object-specific evidence instead of assuming that every category represents an established part of one artist's practice.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's current artist page reports matched auction activity across broad categories, but those categories do not establish a single characteristic body of work. An appraisal should therefore begin with the individual object's medium, dimensions, date, condition, signature, inscriptions, edition information, and attribution. Provenance, restoration history, exhibition records, catalogue references, subject matter, and closely comparable public sales may also affect the analysis. Broad name matches require particular care because the collected identity evidence is thin. Auction results are useful comparables, not automatic valuations, and reported prices may differ in their treatment of buyer premiums or fees. Private transactions and incomplete feeds may not appear in the public dataset.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity matches and object attribution should be independently verified when source coverage is limited.
