## About Ivo Hauptmann

Ivo Hauptmann (1886–1973) was a German painter and printmaker whose career connected Berlin, Weimar, Paris, and Hamburg. His training included study with Lovis Corinth in Berlin, work at the Weimar art academy, and study at the Académie Ranson in Paris. Authority records also document encounters with artists including Hans Arp, Edvard Munch, and Paul Signac. Hauptmann became associated with the Société des Artistes Indépendants and the Hamburg Secession, placing his work within the independent exhibition culture of early twentieth-century European art. He later taught at Hamburg's Landeskunstschule from 1945 to 1951. Collectors may encounter his paintings, watercolors, works on paper, and prints through public auctions. His long working life and varied artistic connections make accurate identification especially important: medium, date, inscriptions, provenance, and documented exhibition history should be considered together rather than relying on the artist's name alone.

## Common works and media

The best-supported work types are paintings, watercolors, works on paper, and prints. Institutional authority records identify Hauptmann as both a painter and printmaker, while documented exhibition records specifically reference paintings and watercolors. Because the collected sources do not establish a reliable list of recurring subjects, subject matter should be described from the individual object rather than inferred from the artist's name.

## Market and appraisal context

Ivo Hauptmann's public auction record includes paintings as well as works on paper and prints. Appraisal should begin with comparable sales that match the object by medium, dimensions, date, subject, and condition. Signature and inscription details, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and the confidence of the attribution can all affect comparability. Edition information is also relevant for prints. Public results should not be treated as a complete price forecast: reporting practices vary, private transactions may be absent, and later attribution or condition findings can change the appropriate comparison set. A defensible valuation therefore uses several closely related lots and explains material differences between them and the property being appraised.

## 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. Public records support research and comparison but do not replace object-specific examination, attribution, provenance, and condition analysis.
