## About Leo Roth

Leo Roth (1914–2002), also known as Lior Roth, was an Israeli painter born in Tysmenytsia, a Galician town in present-day Ukraine. Wikidata and VIAF authority records align on his identity, profession, and lifespan, while VIAF connects his record to national-library and Getty authority identifiers. A secondary-language source describes a strong Cubist influence, but the collected material does not include a museum, foundation, or scholarly catalogue confirming formal membership in a particular movement. It is therefore more accurate to treat Cubism as a reported influence rather than a settled classification. Collectors encounter Roth through a substantial body of auction listings, principally associated with painting. Since his name can also identify other people, reliable matching depends on confirming the 1914–2002 lifespan, Israeli nationality, alternate name Lior Roth, and linked authority records before drawing conclusions from auction results.

## Common works and media

Painting is the only work type securely supported by the collected sources for Leo Roth. The present evidence does not justify naming particular subjects, materials, series, print editions, sculptures, drawings, or ceramics as characteristic of his auction market. Any work offered under his name should first be matched to the Israeli painter born in 1914, including consideration of the alternate name Lior Roth.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraising a work catalogued as Leo Roth begins with identity and attribution. The alternate name Lior Roth and established authority identifiers help distinguish this Israeli painter from other people with the same name. Painting is the only work category securely supported by the collected identity sources. The available source pack does not document recurring subjects, particular painting media, dimensions, dates, provenance patterns, condition issues, or edition information. Comparisons should therefore be limited to auction lots that demonstrably match the same creator and share relevant work characteristics. Public sale dates and realized prices can provide context when accessible, but they should be evaluated alongside the individual work rather than treated as predictions of value.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. For Leo Roth, the identity evidence is stronger than the currently accessible lot-level market detail.
