## About Jürgen Brodwolf

Jürgen Brodwolf, born in 1932, is a Swiss sculptor and object artist whose identity is represented in international authority files and institutional collections data. Public bibliographic records describe a practice centered on figures while also documenting watercolors, drawings, portrait-related work, and named projects such as Sand-Alphabet and Paraphrasen. An exhibition publication concerning his last portrait of Meret Oppenheim provides another documented subject context. Collectors may therefore encounter Brodwolf through three-dimensional objects, works on paper, and works connected with particular exhibitions or publications rather than through one format alone. The Museum of Modern Art maintains an artist entity page for him, while Wikidata, IdRef, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and national-library identifiers help distinguish his records from similarly named artists. Because the collected material is stronger on identity and bibliography than on chronology or stylistic classification, individual works should be matched through their medium, subject, title, and documentary context without assigning an unsupported movement or series.

## Common works and media

The collected records support sculpture and object art as Brodwolf’s principal documented categories. IdRef-linked exhibition and library records also identify figures, watercolors, drawings, Paraphrasen, Sand-Alphabet, and portrait-related work concerning Meret Oppenheim. These references indicate the range of material that may appear in appraisal contexts, but they do not establish the auction frequency of each category.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily indexes public auction records under Brodwolf’s name, but this source pack does not include individual auction-house results, estimates, or realized prices. A responsible appraisal should compare like with like: sculpture or object work should be separated from watercolor and drawing, while figure-based, portrait-related, or named-project associations should be verified before related lots are treated as comparables. A catalogue or exhibition title can assist identification, but it does not by itself prove that an object belongs to the referenced project. The available evidence does not establish edition patterns, typical dimensions, condition norms, provenance histories, or a price trend. Those questions require object-specific documentation and comparable public sales before a value conclusion is formed.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity and authority research with indexed auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available and sufficiently documented.
