## About Jim Marshall

Jim Marshall (1936–2010), born James Joseph Marshall, was an American photographer and photojournalist best known for images of musicians and the live-music culture of the 1960s and 1970s. His work encompasses formal and informal portraits, concert scenes, festival coverage, and photographs made away from the stage. Marshall's access to performers allowed him to document both public performances and less formal moments surrounding them. Among the assignments identified in the collected sources are the Beatles' final concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco and his role as head photographer at Woodstock. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in connection with rock photography, music photojournalism, performer portraits, and photographs associated with landmark concerts or festivals. Because Jim Marshall is not a unique personal name, reliable identification should connect an offered photograph to the American music photographer rather than relying on the name alone.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal contexts may include photographs of musicians, rock performers, concerts, festivals, and informal moments made away from the stage. The collected sources particularly associate Marshall with music photography from the 1960s and 1970s, including Woodstock and the Beatles' final concert at Candlestick Park. The source pack does not document specific printing processes, edition formats, or publication variants, so those characteristics should be recorded from the object and its accompanying documentation rather than assumed.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal begins with the physical photograph and its documented relationship to Marshall. The depicted musician or event can help identify the image, especially when it relates to a recorded assignment such as Woodstock or the Beatles' Candlestick Park concert. Object-level evidence remains essential: the supplied research does not establish print date, printing process, edition, dimensions, signature, condition, or provenance for any individual lot. Comparable public auction records are most useful when the artist attribution, image, object type, and sale details are genuinely comparable. Appraisily's record count signals auction activity under the name Jim Marshall, but individual entries still require identity and attribution checks before they support a valuation conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with available auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Each object still requires independent review of attribution and lot-specific evidence.
