## About Horacio Renteria Rocha

Horacio Renteria Rocha (1912–1972) was a Mexican painter whose name also appears in authority records as Horacio Rentería Rocha. Wikidata and German Wikipedia agree on his nationality and occupation, while stable identifiers connect the artist to Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, GND, and ISNI. The collected evidence does not establish a particular movement, school, named series, or recurring subject with enough confidence to present it as fact. Collectors are most likely to encounter Renteria Rocha through paintings and through lots grouped into broader fine-art categories in public auction data. Appraisily's index also associates his market record with shortened name forms, making authority-based identity matching and careful examination of each lot especially important. Signatures, inscriptions, dates, provenance, dimensions, medium, and catalogue descriptions should therefore be reviewed together when deciding whether a work belongs in the artist's market record.

## Common works and media

Paintings are the clearest documented work type associated with Horacio Renteria Rocha. Appraisily's auction index also groups matched lots under works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because the source page describes the category concentration as broad or sparse, those secondary groupings should be treated as database classifications rather than proof that each medium formed a substantial part of the artist's practice. For appraisal purposes, the physical medium, support, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, edition information, and attribution language on the individual work remain essential.

## Market and appraisal context

Public auction data provides a useful starting point for understanding Horacio Renteria Rocha's market, but broad category labels should not be treated as a complete account of his oeuvre. A meaningful comparison should prioritize works sharing the same medium, approximate dimensions, date or career period, subject, and attribution status. Condition, restoration, surface quality, signatures, inscriptions, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can also affect relevance and value. Reported results should be compared on a consistent basis because auction feeds may differ in their inclusion of buyer premiums or fees. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes can leave gaps, so a current appraisal requires lot-level review rather than reliance on a single median or price range.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales, incomplete feeds, and attribution changes may not be fully represented.
