## About Jon Kuhn

Jon Kuhn (born 1949) is an American glass artist whose identity is corroborated by Wikidata and the VIAF international authority cluster. VIAF links his name to publications and documented works including Forma, luz y color: retrospectiva de Jon Kuhn, Spectrum: the sculpture of Jon Kuhn, Images past & future, 1984, and Rock Garden (4 spheres). These records place glass sculpture at the center of the available public description of his practice. Collectors may therefore encounter Kuhn's name in connection with sculptural glass objects, exhibition catalogues, and retrospective material. The collected evidence does not identify a specific art movement, provide a complete career chronology, or establish the full range of his subjects and series. Those details should remain open rather than be inferred from the limited authority records.

## Common works and media

The supplied authority records primarily associate Jon Kuhn with glass sculpture. VIAF also records the sculpture catalogue Spectrum and the work title Rock Garden (4 spheres). The source pack does not establish a broader inventory of paintings, prints, drawings, editions, or recurring subjects, so those categories should not be attributed to the artist without additional evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

The available authority records are reliable for distinguishing Jon Kuhn as the American glass artist born in 1949, but they are too limited for detailed market conclusions. They support glass sculpture as the principal appraisal category and document several catalogue or work references that may assist identification. The source pack does not contain usable auction-house results sufficient to establish price levels, market direction, edition differences, rarity, or premiums related to condition and provenance. Any appraisal should therefore begin with the specific object's materials, dimensions, markings, documentation, and physical condition, followed by comparison with verified public sales of genuinely comparable works when such records are available.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Jon Kuhn, the present identity evidence is stronger than the collected market evidence.
