## About Johannes Fredericus van den Berg

Johannes Fredericus van den Berg (1918–2000), commonly identified as Freek van den Berg, was a Dutch painter. The collected authority records connect the formal name used on this page with the shorter name collectors may encounter in catalogues and sale listings. The available evidence does not establish a specific movement, school, career period, or recurring subject strongly enough to publish it as fact. This profile therefore treats painting as the confirmed artistic context and avoids assigning unsupported stylistic labels. When researching a possible work, collectors should distinguish identity matching from authentication: agreement between the artist’s formal and familiar names can help organize records, but it does not by itself establish authorship. Object-specific cataloguing and documented history remain necessary for evaluating an individual work.

## Common works and media

The evidence pack identifies van den Berg as a painter, making paintings the only work type that can be stated confidently here. It does not provide enough detail to establish characteristic subjects, techniques, supports, print editions, drawings, sculptures, or named series. Any broader classification should be based on the cataloguing and physical characteristics of the individual object.

## Market and appraisal context

Paintings are the clearest auction category supported by the collected identity sources. Appraisily has an artist page associated with auction-price records, but the public response collected for this research did not expose readable lot descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition notes, provenance, or comparable-sale details. Those fields should be reviewed on the individual record before drawing a market conclusion. Name matching is particularly relevant because catalogues may use either Johannes Fredericus van den Berg or Freek van den Berg. A defensible appraisal would also require work-specific evidence rather than relying on the artist identity profile alone, and this source pack does not support a price forecast or trend claim.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity links with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For this artist, the public identity evidence is usable but the collected lot-level market evidence is limited.
