## About Klaus Fussmann

Klaus Fussmann, also known as Klaus Fußmann, is a German painter and graphic artist born in 1938 in Velbert. Library and authority records identify him as a painter, engraver, illustrator, and author, while public art references describe him as a contemporary German painter. His practice is encountered through paintings and graphic works, including lithographs and other editions. Collectors may therefore find his work catalogued across paintings, works on paper, and print-related auction sections. The available identity sources provide a consistent name, nationality, and birth year, but they do not establish one definitive movement label for the artist. Appraisily’s artist page brings this identity record together with matched auction data so that individual works can be considered in relation to their medium, format, date, condition, provenance, and attribution evidence.

## Common works and media

Collectors and auction houses may encounter Klaus Fussmann paintings alongside graphic works and works on paper. The source pack specifically supports lithographs and other print-related material, while Appraisily’s market index groups records under paintings, prints, editions, mixed media, and decorative art categories. Individual records should be checked for the exact medium, support, dimensions, date, edition number, signature or inscription, and condition. The available sources do not support a definitive list of recurring subjects or a single canonical series, so those details should be established from the specific object and its documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

Klaus Fussmann’s public auction records cover paintings and works on paper, with print and edition material also represented. Appraisily reports a broad observed market dataset rather than a single price expectation, including records dated from 2004 through 2026 and a reported realized-price range of $40 to $27,500. For an individual work, the most useful comparisons are those matching its medium, dimensions, date or career period, condition, signature, edition information, provenance, and attribution status. Subject matter and rarity may also matter when supported by comparable sales. Auction results should be treated as evidence for comparison, not as a substitute for authentication, condition inspection, or a professional appraisal.

## Appraisily data basis

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