## About Louis Siegriest

Louis Bassi Siegriest (1899–1989) was an American painter whose public authority records place him within twentieth-century American art. Wikidata, Getty ULAN, Library of Congress, and MoMA identifiers help distinguish him from similarly named people and support reliable entity matching. The collected material documents oil on canvas through the 1921 work Gile's House, while the current Appraisily index shows that collectors may encounter his name across paintings and other broadly classified auction categories. The available institutional excerpts do not establish a specific movement or a comprehensive list of subjects, so this profile is best read as a careful identity and market overview rather than a catalogue raisonné. Attribution should be checked against signatures, inscriptions, provenance, and comparable documented works before firm conclusions are drawn.

## Common works and media

The source pack directly documents an oil-on-canvas painting, Gile's House (1921). Appraisily's auction index also groups matched records under fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because the public page describes category concentration as broad or sparse, these labels should be treated as search and comparison buckets rather than proof that every category represents a substantial body of Siegriest's work.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's current public index reports 62 matched records, 42 priced records, a 2010–2026 date range, and observed prices from $80 to $5,400. These figures describe the indexed sample, not the artist's entire market. For appraisal, compare like with like: medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signatures or inscriptions, edition information where relevant, attribution confidence, provenance, subject matter, and recent comparable sales. Reported totals may include buyer premiums or fees, while private transactions and incomplete feeds may be absent. The input count of 226 does not match the public page's present record count, so lot-level records should be rechecked before any summary statistic is used.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity records with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public results may be incomplete and should be reviewed alongside attribution, provenance, condition, and object-specific evidence.
