## About Jacob Gildor

Jacob Gildor, born in 1948, is an Israeli painter whose authority records also identify him as Yaakov Gildor. Public biographical material places his painting in the Surrealist current of Israeli art and connects him with artists described as the Second Generation of Holocaust survivors. Those contextual descriptions are supported in the collected pack by Wikipedia rather than a museum or scholarly catalogue, so they remain useful research leads rather than definitive classifications. Gildor is also described as an art adviser associated with auction businesses in Tel Aviv and London, a professional role distinct from his authorship as an artist. Collectors may encounter his name through paintings and auction records, while identifiers from VIAF, Getty ULAN, Wikidata, and the Library of Congress help distinguish his identity from similarly named people. The available sources do not establish his exact birth date, formal training, exhibition history, principal subjects, or documented bodies of work.

## Common works and media

Painting is the only work type directly supported by the collected authority and biographical sources. The source pack does not establish particular painting techniques, recurring subjects, print editions, sculptures, drawings, ceramics, posters, or named series. Auction listings in those categories should therefore be checked individually rather than assumed to represent Gildor's established output.

## Market and appraisal context

The input inventory associates 214 auction records with Jacob Gildor, but that count should be treated as a discovery signal until the underlying lots are reviewed. Appraisal should begin by matching the artist identity across the Jacob and Yaakov name forms and examining whether each comparison is genuinely attributable to the same person. Relevant public auction records can then provide context when their work type and cataloguing are comparable. The collected source pack does not expose individual realized prices, lot descriptions, or auction-house attribution notes, so it cannot support a price trend, scarcity claim, or value prediction. A defensible opinion requires examination of the submitted object and suitably comparable documented sales.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Authority identifiers help reconcile names, while work-level evidence remains necessary for attribution and appraisal.
