## About Luc Peire

Luc Peire (1916–1994) was a Belgian artist active as a painter, sculptor, graphic artist, installation artist, and draftsperson. Born in Bruges on July 7, 1916, and later based in Paris, Peire worked across a range of modern and contemporary media over a career spanning several decades. His multidisciplinary practice encompassed painting, printmaking, sculpture, and installation, reflecting the evolving post-war European art landscape. Peire's work is held in institutional collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and his identity is well-documented across major library authority systems including the Getty Union List of Artist Names, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History. He died in Paris on February 7, 1994.

## Common works and media

Peire's output spans oil and acrylic paintings, sculptures, engraved and printed graphic works, drawings, and installation pieces. Collectors are most likely to encounter his paintings and works on paper at auction, including prints and graphic editions. Sculptures and installation-related works appear less frequently. As with many post-war European artists who worked in multiple media, distinguishing between unique works and editioned prints is important for valuation.

## Market and appraisal context

Luc Peire's works appear regularly at international auction, with over 470 lots recorded in the Appraisily database. Collectors and appraisers encounter his paintings, sculptures, prints, and graphic works across Post-War, Modern, and Contemporary Art categories. Factors that may affect appraisal include the specific medium, date of execution, provenance, condition, edition details for prints, and any documented exhibition or publication history. Because Peire worked across diverse media over a long career, comparable lot analysis should account for the specific work type and period.
