## About John (1871) Sloan

John (1871) Sloan is the auction-index label used here for John Sloan, an American painter whose collected portrait metadata gives the life years 1871–1951 and describes him as an urban landscape painter. The supplied evidence does not establish full birth and death dates, formal movement affiliations, training, or a reliable career chronology, so this page avoids assigning them. Collectors may encounter records categorized as paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture or mixed media, and decorative art or editions. These are broad auction-data classifications, however, and should not be treated as a catalogue raisonné or confirmation that every matched object is by the same artist. Appraisily's collected index associates this name with auction records spanning 1991–2026. Any object should be evaluated through its signature, medium, date, condition, provenance, attribution language, and authoritative catalogue information before identification is considered secure.

## Common works and media

The matched auction data places works under broad categories that include paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. The available source pack does not establish which of these categories represent the artist's recognized core practice or how frequently each medium appears. For appraisal purposes, the object's actual materials, technique, dimensions, date, signature, inscriptions, edition status, condition, and attribution wording should therefore take precedence over the category assigned by an auction-data feed.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected Appraisily snapshot contains 818 matched records, including 640 priced records, with reported auction dates from 1991 through 2026. Its displayed median is approximately $800, while many recorded results cluster between $400 and $1,900; the much wider observed range shows why a headline average cannot substitute for object-level comparison. Medium, size, date, condition, restoration, signature, inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, subject matter, rarity, and attribution confidence can all affect relevance and value. Comparables should use similar works and consistent treatment of buyer premiums and fees. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, name-matching errors, and revised attributions may not appear in the public data.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public results are evidence for comparison, not authentication or a final appraisal.
