## About Jonas Wood

Jonas Wood is an American contemporary artist and painter, born in 1977 and based in Los Angeles. His identity is corroborated by Wikidata, VIAF, IdRef, and Getty’s Union List of Artist Names, while the Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Art maintain institutional artist records for him. Collectors encounter Wood’s name across the contemporary-art market, particularly in connection with paintings, works on paper, prints, editions, and other catalogued objects. Because the available source pack establishes his identity and painting practice more clearly than it documents particular movements, subjects, or named series, those narrower classifications should be applied only when an individual work or authoritative catalogue supports them. For entity matching, the key identifiers are his 1977 birth year, American nationality, occupation as an artist and painter, and established authority records. These identifiers help distinguish him from unrelated people and objects that share parts of his name.

## Common works and media

Auction records associated with Jonas Wood are grouped across fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Painting is firmly supported as part of his practice. For appraisal purposes, an object should be classified by its actual materials and production method rather than by the artist name alone. Prints and other editions also require verification of edition details, inscriptions, publisher information, dimensions, and condition before comparison with public sales.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin with sales of works that are genuinely comparable in medium, dimensions, date, subject, and edition status. Condition, restoration, surface quality, signature or inscriptions, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and confidence in attribution can all affect how a result should be interpreted. For prints and editions, the edition size, number, publisher, and physical condition deserve particular attention. Public auction results provide useful evidence, but reporting may include different fee conventions, and private sales or later attribution changes may be absent. A single headline result or broad artist median should therefore not be treated as the value of a specific work without object-level review.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity records with matched public auction data, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public results are a starting point and do not replace object-specific authentication, condition review, or professional appraisal.
