## About Hermann Naumann

Hermann Naumann (1930–2025) was a German sculptor, graphic artist, painter, and illustrator. He was born in Radebeul on February 14, 1930, and a gallery publication recorded by IdRef documented him as living in Dresden in 1970. His identified practices span sculpture, painting, graphic work, prints, and book illustration, giving collectors several distinct types of object through which they may encounter his name. Public auction records also place works on paper, mixed-media objects, decorative art, and editions under his market profile. The available institutional records do not securely assign Naumann to a particular art movement, so identification is better grounded in his name-authority records, German origin, documented locations, and working media. Stable records maintained by Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, IdRef, the Library of Congress, and the National Gallery of Art help distinguish him from other people sharing the Naumann surname.

## Common works and media

Works attributed to Hermann Naumann may appear as sculpture, paintings, graphic works, book illustrations, works on paper, prints, mixed media, decorative objects, or editions. For prints and other multiples, the edition number, inscriptions, signature, paper condition, and printing or publishing details should be recorded. Sculpture and mixed-media works require attention to material, dimensions, surface condition, repairs, casting or fabrication details, and any supporting provenance.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected Appraisily market snapshot reports 237 matched records, including 107 priced entries, across auction dates from 2005 through 2026. Its observed results range from $30 to $1,800, with a reported median near $200; these figures describe the available dataset rather than predict the value of a particular work. Appraisal should compare objects of the same medium, approximate dimensions, date, subject, and edition status. Condition, restoration, signatures, inscriptions, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can materially affect comparability. Realized prices should also be checked for differing treatment of buyer premiums and fees. Public auction records are a starting point, and authentication plus direct condition review remain important.

## 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. Coverage may exclude private sales, incomplete feeds, or later attribution changes.
