## About Jorge Castillo

Jorge Castillo is a Spanish-born artist, born in 1933, known as a painter, sculptor, and printmaker. His public identity is documented through international authority records and museum collections, including the Getty Research Institute, VIAF, Art UK, and The Museum of Modern Art. Reference sources associate his work with Surrealism and Informalism, while catalogued practice spans painting, sculpture, and graphic work such as etching. Collectors may encounter Castillo in auctions through paintings, works on paper, prints, sculptures, mixed-media objects, and editions. Because the name can be shared by other people, authority identifiers and work-specific documentation are useful when matching a record to the artist. The artist’s long career and varied media make medium, date, scale, provenance, and attribution especially important when comparing works.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal records for Jorge Castillo may include paintings, drawings and other works on paper, etchings and prints, sculptures, mixed-media works, decorative objects, and editions. The available identity sources support his roles as painter, sculptor, and printmaker. For a particular lot, confirm the medium, dimensions, date, edition or impression details, signature, condition, provenance, and attribution before relying on comparisons.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s public matched records show substantial auction activity for Jorge Castillo, with 632 tracked lots, a reported median realized sale of approximately $397, 19 recorded sales in the last 12 months, and observed prices ranging from $10 to $30,000. These figures are reference points, not predictions. Appraisal depends on the specific work’s medium, size, date, condition, restoration history, signature, edition details, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition or catalogue history, subject, rarity, and comparable recent sales. Public auction data may omit private transactions and may report fees inconsistently, so comparisons should use similar works and like-for-like totals.
