## About Hubert Schmalix

Hubert Schmalix (1952–2025) was an Austrian painter and visual artist, born in Graz and reported to have died in Los Angeles. Public authority records connect his identity across Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and national-library catalogues, helping distinguish his work from similarly named makers. The collected sources are strongest on identity and occupation rather than on a detailed account of his artistic development. They consistently identify him as a painter, but this source pack does not provide institution-grade support for a particular movement, school, recurring subject, or named series. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Schmalix through paintings and catalogued auction entries. Precise dating, medium, title, dimensions, exhibition history, and attribution should be checked against each object and its documentation. Appraisily presents his auction record under the public artist name Hubert Schmalix and uses stable authority links to strengthen entity matching.

## Common works and media

The collected identity sources describe Hubert Schmalix principally as a painter, so paintings are the best-supported type of work for auction and appraisal classification. The source pack does not document specific recurring subjects, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, drawings, posters, or named bodies of work. Any such classification should therefore be made from the individual object's physical characteristics, inscriptions, supporting documents, and a suitable catalogue or institutional reference rather than inferred from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

The available source pack establishes painting as the relevant work category and connects Hubert Schmalix with a public Appraisily auction-record page. It does not, however, contain enough lot-level evidence to characterize price trends or identify premiums associated with particular dates, subjects, dimensions, or periods. A responsible appraisal should begin with the individual object's medium, measurements, inscriptions, condition, provenance, and attribution evidence, then compare it with genuinely similar public sales where records are available. Results for works carrying uncertain attribution should not be treated as equivalent to firmly documented works, and asking prices should not be confused with realized auction prices.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity authority records do not by themselves authenticate or value an individual work.
