## About Joaquim Mir

Joaquim Mir (1873–1940), also catalogued as Joaquim Mir Trinxet and Joaquim Mir i Trinxet, was a Spanish painter associated with Catalan Modernisme. Public authority records establish his identity and lifespan, while biographical references emphasize his use of color and his place within the modern artistic culture of Catalonia. Some records also describe him as a draughtsman and engraver, indicating a practice broader than painting alone. Collectors may encounter his name in Catalan or Spanish forms, including Joaquin Mir, Joaquín Mir, and variants incorporating Trinxet. Reconciling those forms is important when comparing collection, library, and auction records. Mir’s established identity as a painter and the substantial body of auction entries associated with his name make him relevant to collectors researching Spanish and Catalan art, although individual objects still require careful attribution and comparison with documented works.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal searches for Joaquim Mir principally concern paintings, consistent with the Getty authority record’s identification of him as a painter. Biographical material also identifies drawing and engraving as parts of his practice, so works on paper and graphic works may appear under his name. The collected source excerpts do not establish reliable subject categories, named series, edition practices, or a medium-by-medium hierarchy of market value.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected evidence supports distinguishing Mir’s paintings from drawings and engravings and matching auction records across his different name forms. Those are useful first steps, but this source pack does not contain auction-house catalogue descriptions or object-level results sufficient to support a price trend or prediction. An appraisal should therefore rely on verified comparable lots from the relevant medium and confirm each lot’s attribution, sale date, and realized price in its underlying record. Condition, provenance, dimensions, date, and subject matter may need examination for an individual object, but their specific market effects for Mir cannot be established from the sources collected here.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity records with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Claims are limited when the collected evidence does not support object-level or price conclusions.
