## About Hendra Gunawan

Hendra Gunawan is represented in Appraisily's index by a substantial set of matched public auction records, but the supplied identity sources do not yet support a definitive biography. A Wikipedia disambiguation page confirms that the name is shared by several people and includes an Indonesian painter, while the collected Wikidata result belongs to a political candidate and should not be linked to the artist. A public-domain 1957 archival image identifies Hendra Gunawan working on a sculpture of Sam Ratulangi, offering useful evidence of artistic activity beyond the auction index. Collectors may encounter the name across paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions in Appraisily's categorized records. Birth and death dates, nationality, training, movements, and a canonical authority identifier remain unverified in this source pack, so those biographical details require stronger institutional evidence.

## Common works and media

Appraisily's current auction categories place matched Hendra Gunawan lots among paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. These categories are broad and should be verified against each lot's catalogue description, images, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, edition information, and attribution before selecting comparables.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily reports 291 matched records, 205 with prices, across auction dates from 1997 to 2026. This pool can support comparison, but it should not be treated as a price forecast. For appraisal, compare works by medium, dimensions, date or career period, condition and restoration history, signature or inscriptions, edition details, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, subject matter, and the recency of genuinely similar public sales. Reported totals may differ in their treatment of buyer's premiums and fees. Private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. Because the identity evidence is thin and one collected Wikidata result is a namesake, identity and attribution should be resolved before relying on market matches.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine cautious artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public records may be incomplete and should be checked against attribution, condition, provenance, and current evidence.
