## About Ignasi Gil Sala

Ignasi Gil Sala (1913–2002) was a Spanish painter and illustrator. Library authority records also identify him under the Spanish-language form Ignacio Gil Sala, making both names useful when matching catalogues and auction records. His identity is represented by several established authority identifiers, including VIAF, Getty ULAN, the Library of Congress, ISNI, and Wikidata. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with paintings, illustration, and works on paper, while auction databases may organize matched objects under broader fine-art, print, mixed-media, or edition categories. The collected institutional data does not securely assign Gil Sala to a named movement, school, signature subject, or documented series, so those characteristics should be established from the individual work rather than inferred from his name. Signatures, inscriptions, dates, provenance, and catalogue references can also help distinguish correctly attributed works from incomplete or variant-name listings.

## Common works and media

Authority records describe Gil Sala as a painter and illustrator, supporting paintings and illustration-related works on paper as the clearest documented work types. Appraisily's matched auction index also uses broader classifications covering prints, editions, mixed media, sculpture, and decorative art. Those broader labels have limited artist-specific support in the collected sources and should be verified against the object's materials, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, and auction description before being treated as characteristic of his work.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's current artist index reports 83 matched auction records, including 35 priced records, across sales dated from 2005 through 2026. The displayed snapshot gives an observed range of $100 to $3,000 and a median realized result around $650, but these figures should not be used as price predictions. A useful comparison should align medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, attribution, and edition status where applicable. Provenance, restoration, inscriptions, exhibition history, and catalogue references may also affect how a work is assessed. Reported results can differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees, while private sales and incomplete feeds remain outside or only partly represented in public data.

## 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.
