## About Jacob Wexler

Jacob Wexler (1912–1995) was an Israeli painter and art teacher associated with the formation of Ofakim Hadashim, or New Horizons. Collected English- and Hebrew-language reference pages describe him as one of the movement’s founders, placing him within an important context of modern Israeli art. Wikidata independently identifies him as a painter and supplies the life years used here. Collectors may encounter works catalogued under his name, but the available source pack supports only a broad description of his practice as painting; it does not establish specific materials, recurring subjects, named series, or a reliable career chronology. This profile therefore keeps the biographical summary deliberately narrow. Entity links to Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and other authority systems help distinguish Wexler from people with similar names, although those endpoints were rate-limited when the source pack was collected.

## Common works and media

The available sources identify painting as Wexler’s principal work type. They do not provide enough evidence to specify recurring materials, subjects, named series, editions, prints, drawings, sculptures, or other categories that collectors might encounter, so those details remain unclassified here.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected material confirms Jacob Wexler’s identity as a painter and his association with Ofakim Hadashim, but it does not include accessible major-auction-house cataloguing or detailed sale records. This profile therefore makes no claim about typical prices, market direction, scarcity, or premiums for particular subjects or media. An appraisal should compare an object only with documented lots assigned to the same Jacob Wexler and with genuinely comparable work types. Public auction records, catalogue descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, and supporting attribution evidence should be reviewed before drawing a value conclusion.

## 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. For Jacob Wexler, the collected identity evidence is stronger than the accessible market evidence.
