## About Jiyou Liu

Liu Jiyou (1918–1983), recorded in Chinese as 刘继卣, was a painter whose identity is established by Wikidata and the VIAF authority cluster. VIAF links several international cataloguing forms, including “Liu, Jiyou” and “Liu, Gijoŭ,” helping distinguish the artist across library and auction records. The available Chinese-language biographical source gives the fuller dates 3 October 1918 to 5 November 1983 and describes him as a Chinese painter and lianhuanhua artist associated with Tianjin. Lianhuanhua are sequential picture books, placing narrative image-making alongside his Chinese-painting practice. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in records for paintings or illustrated narrative work, sometimes under different romanizations. The present source pack is strong on identity but thin on institutional biography, training, exhibitions, named series, and museum holdings, so those areas remain provisional pending better scholarly documentation.

## Common works and media

The source pack supports two broad areas of practice: Chinese painting and lianhuanhua, or sequential picture-book art. It does not identify particular subjects, named cycles, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or other media, and it provides no accessible lot-level breakdown of the auction records associated with the artist page. A work should therefore not be assigned to a more specific category from this profile alone; its materials, inscriptions, format, authorship, and catalogue history require object-level review.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected sources establish a stable artist identity and point to an Appraisily auction-record page, but they do not expose individual auction-house cataloguing, sale dates, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, dimensions, or edition details. No price trend or category-specific valuation conclusion should be drawn from this identity research alone. For appraisal, first match the object to Liu Jiyou’s established authority forms, including 刘继卣 and the romanized forms clustered by VIAF. It should then be assessed against verified public lots of the same work type once the underlying records are available, while clearly separating confirmed authorship from attributed, inscribed, or otherwise uncertain identification.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are publicly available and can be matched confidently to the artist.
