## About Keith Vaughan

Keith Vaughan, identified in the collected biographical source as John Keith Vaughan, was a British painter, graphic artist, illustrator, photographer, teacher, and journal writer. He worked mainly in oil and was also notable for gouache, using both media to explore male figures, landscapes, and still lifes. The available sources do not provide enough reliable evidence to assign him to a named movement, so this profile avoids a movement label. Two recurring landmarks are his large Festival of Britain mural and the nine-part Assembly of Figures sequence, developed from 1951 to 1976. Collectors may therefore encounter both individual paintings and works connected by subject or series, along with graphic and paper-based material. His works are reported in public collections in Britain and abroad, helping explain why his name appears in museum, gallery, and auction contexts. Exact life dates should be added only after a correctly matched institutional or authority source is collected.

## Common works and media

Collectors are most likely to encounter oil paintings, gouaches, graphic works, illustrations, and other works on paper associated with male figures, landscapes, or still lifes. Auction data also groups some records under prints, mixed media, sculpture, decorative art, and editions, but those broader categories require lot-level confirmation. Works connected with the Assembly of Figures sequence or other documented projects should be compared by date, medium, dimensions, subject, provenance, and condition.

## Market and appraisal context

Keith Vaughan's auction record should be assessed through closely comparable works rather than a single overall price statistic. Medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, signatures, inscriptions, edition details, and attribution confidence can all affect comparability. Public sale results may also differ in whether buyer premiums and fees are included. Appraisily's market page supplies a substantial body of matched auction data, but each candidate comparable should be checked at lot level. That review is especially important here because the collected authority sources reveal an unrelated photographer with the same name, creating a possible risk for automated name matching.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Name matching, attribution, condition, fees, and provenance should be independently reviewed for appraisal use.
