## Artist identity



## About John Mather

John Mather is the name attached to a substantial group of public auction listings, but the collected evidence does not yet identify a single artist behind those records. The name is shared by several documented people, and the available authority candidate is not connected to the auction material by an institutional collection, artist estate, scholarly catalogue, or other reliable biographical source. Appraisily therefore does not assign birth and death dates, nationality, occupation, or an artistic movement to this page. Collectors may encounter the name across paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative objects, and editions, although that range could reflect more than one maker. Signatures, inscriptions, dates, labels, provenance, and photographs of the front and reverse are especially important for distinguishing an individual work and determining whether a particular John Mather identity can be supported.

## Common works and media

The collected market page groups John Mather listings across fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, decorative art, and editions. No museum, estate, or scholarly source in the pack confirms that these categories describe one artist's established body of work. Each object should therefore be classified from its own physical evidence and documentation before artist-level comparisons are selected.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily currently reports 177 matched auction records, including 134 with prices, spanning 2007–2026 and a realized-price range of $50 to $9,000. These figures should be treated cautiously because the source pack does not prove that every listing belongs to one artist. A useful appraisal comparison should match the work's medium, dimensions, subject, date, condition, attribution wording, and signature or inscription. Provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, restoration, and edition details may also affect relevance. Public results can differ in their inclusion of buyer premiums and do not capture every private transaction, so an observed range is context rather than a price prediction.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when available. For John Mather, the market dataset is materially stronger than the biographical evidence, so identity and attribution remain unresolved.
