## About Leon Pericles

Leon Pericles (born 1949) is an Australian artist whose official studio presents his practice across printmaking, painting, and sculpture. Authority records identify him as an Australian artist, while his own site associates his active studio practice with the Margaret River area. Because the available institution-grade sources do not establish a specific movement affiliation, this profile emphasizes documented media and themes instead of assigning an art-historical label. Studio material describes work inspired by gardens and the natural environment, including local flora and harvest imagery. Collectors may encounter his name on prints and works on paper, paintings, sculptural objects, and mixed-media pieces. Appraisily's matched auction records also place his work across fine-art, print, sculpture, decorative-art, and edition categories. That breadth makes object-level identification important: medium, dimensions, signature or inscriptions, edition details, date, and condition should be checked against the specific work and closely comparable sales rather than inferred from the artist's name alone.

## Common works and media

Auction and studio sources indicate that collectors may encounter Leon Pericles prints and other works on paper, paintings, sculpture, mixed-media objects, decorative works, and editions. Nature, gardens, local flora, and harvest imagery are documented themes, although subjects and formats should be verified work by work. For prints and editions, check the stated edition size, impression number, signature, inscriptions, paper, and condition.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's market index contains a substantial body of matched public auction records for Leon Pericles, but the records span several categories and should not be treated as one uniform market. A print or edition should be assessed against similar impressions and edition details, while a painting or sculpture should be compared by medium, size, date, subject, and condition. Signature, inscriptions, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, restoration history, and surface quality can also affect comparability. Realized prices may be reported under different fee conventions, and public results do not capture every private sale or later attribution change. A defensible appraisal therefore depends on the object itself and recent, closely comparable lots rather than an overall artist median alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity data with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public results are evidence for comparison, not a substitute for inspecting and identifying the individual object.
