## About Jesús Guerrero Galván

Jesús Guerrero Galván (1910–1973) was a Mexican painter, draughtsperson, and muralist associated with the Mexican muralism movement. He began his career in Guadalajara and later moved to Mexico City, where he participated in mural projects during the 1930s, including work connected with the Secretaría de Educación Pública and the Comisión Federal de Electricidad. His practice was not limited to public walls: sources also identify easel paintings and drawings, the kinds of portable works collectors are more likely to encounter. In 1943 Guerrero Galván served as an artist-in-residence at the University of New Mexico, where he painted Union of the Americas Joined in Freedom, regarded in the collected biographical material as a major work. He exhibited in Mexico and the United States and became a member of the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana. These connections place his work within both Mexico’s mural tradition and the broader circulation of twentieth-century Mexican art in North America.

## Common works and media

Collectors may encounter Guerrero Galván through easel paintings and drawings, while institutional accounts also emphasize his work as a muralist. Material described as a mural study, preparatory work, or project-related document should not be treated as such without supporting evidence. The collected sources do not establish recurring subjects, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or poster production, so those categories should be evaluated individually rather than assumed to be typical.

## Market and appraisal context

Auction and appraisal research for Guerrero Galván should begin by identifying the work type: a painting or drawing may require different comparisons from a study or other material connected with a mural project. Date and documented links to recognized phases of his career—especially his Mexico City mural activity in the 1930s or his 1943 University of New Mexico residency—can help establish context. Relevant public auction records are most useful when the compared works share medium, scale, date, subject, and attribution status. The collected source pack does not provide enough major-auction-house evidence to support a price trend or value prediction, so conclusions should remain object-specific and should be tested against accessible comparable lots.

## 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. Source limitations and unresolved attribution questions are kept visible.
