## About Jeannie Petyarre

Jeannie Petyarre, also identified in public authority and reference records as Jeanna Petyarre, is an Australian artist born in 1950. She is associated with the Utopia district of Central Australia and belongs to a prominent artist family that includes Kathleen Petyarre, Ada Bird Petyarre, and Emily Kame Kngwarreye. Public reference material reports her work in the National Gallery of Australia and the Holmes à Court Collection, as well as in private collections. Collectors may therefore encounter her name through institutional collection references, private holdings, and auction records. The variation between Jeannie and Jeanna is important for entity matching and catalogue research, especially where records use different name forms. The available source pack does not provide institution-grade detail about her training, chronology, movement affiliations, characteristic media, or recurring subjects, so those aspects should remain open rather than be inferred from family or regional associations.

## Common works and media

The collected sources identify Jeannie Petyarre as an artist associated with Central Australia's Utopia district, but they do not reliably specify her common media, subjects, series, editions, or formats. Auction and appraisal records should describe each encountered work from direct evidence—including materials, support, dimensions, inscriptions, date, condition, and provenance—without assuming characteristics from regional association or from the practices of related artists.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should first confirm that a work is correctly associated with Jeannie Petyarre, accounting for the alternate Jeanna spelling and distinguishing her from other artists in the Petyarre family. Relevant evidence may include provenance, inscriptions, supporting documentation, date, dimensions, materials, condition, and comparison with suitably similar public auction records. The source pack confirms an auction-record context but does not provide enough detail to characterize price trends, preferred subjects, signature forms, or the relative market importance of particular periods. Any valuation should therefore rely on object-specific evidence and verified comparable lots rather than the artist name alone.

## 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. Thin or inaccessible evidence is identified rather than used to support unsupported conclusions.
