## About Ibrahim Kodra

Ibrahim Kodra (1918–2006) was an Albanian painter whose career included activity in Milan. Library authority records identify him as a painter and provide his full life dates, while VIAF connects records maintained by the Library of Congress, Getty ULAN, ISNI, and European library systems. The public evidence collected here is stronger on Kodra's identity than on a precise movement classification, so assigning him to a named school would require better scholarly support. A documented 1961 photographic record concerns an exhibition of his lithographs at Feltrinelli in Milan, showing that his practice extended beyond painting into printmaking. Collectors may therefore encounter Kodra through paintings as well as lithographic works. His presence across multiple authority files and Appraisily's auction-record page provides a stable basis for matching catalog entries, images, and sale records to the correct artist.

## Common works and media

Public evidence in this source pack supports paintings and lithographs. A documented 1961 Milan exhibition specifically concerned lithographs, while library authorities consistently identify Kodra as a painter. The pack does not establish recurring subjects, named series, edition sizes, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or drawing categories; those details should be confirmed from the individual object and its catalog history.

## Market and appraisal context

Market assessment for a Kodra work should begin with identity and medium. The source pack supports him as a painter and separately documents a 1961 Milan exhibition of lithographs, so a painting and a lithograph should not be compared as if they were the same kind of object. Authority records help resolve the artist's name and life dates, but they do not authenticate an individual work. Appraisily's artist page indicates a body of public auction records; when usable records are available, appraisal should compare like with like by work type and sale date and examine the underlying lot description. This source pack does not support claims about price direction, rarity, signature practice, edition size, condition effects, or provenance premiums, so those questions require object-specific and lot-level evidence.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Authority records help match the correct artist, while individual auction entries require separate review.
