## About Kiyoshi Hasegawa

Kiyoshi Hasegawa (1891-1980) was a Japanese printmaker, engraver, painter, and illustrator whose career was closely connected with France. Born in Yokohama and later based largely in France, he has institutional and authority records maintained by organizations including MoMA, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and the BnF. His public identity is especially consistent as a graphic artist: library records classify him as an engraver and connect his name with individual prints, while auction data frequently places his work among prints and works on paper. Cataloged titles indicate subjects that include still lifes and views of named places, alongside other graphic compositions. Collectors therefore commonly encounter Hasegawa through individual impressions and works on paper. Careful identity matching matters because his romanized name is shared by unrelated historical figures, while records may use Western name order, Japanese name order, or Japanese script.

## Common works and media

The collected sources most clearly identify Hasegawa with engraving, printmaking, and works on paper, while also recording activity as a painter and illustrator. Library-linked titles include still lifes and views associated with named locations or architectural sites. When examining a print, record its technique, sheet and image dimensions, paper, condition, signature or inscriptions, and any edition notation before selecting comparable sales.

## Market and appraisal context

Public auction records for Kiyoshi Hasegawa should be compared by object type rather than reduced to a single artist-wide price benchmark. For prints and works on paper, the technique, dimensions, date, condition, signature, inscriptions, edition information, and quality of the impression may all affect comparability. Provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, subject matter, attribution confidence, and recent results for genuinely similar works also deserve review. Paintings should be compared with paintings rather than with the more frequently encountered graphic work. Reported auction results can differ in whether fees are included, and private sales or incomplete data feeds may not be visible. A specific appraisal should therefore combine market evidence with direct examination and appropriate authentication research.

## 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. Private sales, incomplete feeds, reporting differences, and attribution changes may not be represented.
