## About Mae Engron

Mae Engron, also identified as Mae Alice Engron, is represented in the available public sources as an American artist associated with twentieth-century Black abstraction and known for oil painting. The evidence pack remains limited: Wikidata identifies an artist born in 1942, while an auction-result title reproduced on Appraisily uses the dates 1933–2007. Those dates should not be treated as settled until an institutional biography or stronger authority record resolves the discrepancy. Collectors may encounter her name through oil paintings and auction records indexed under both Mae Engron and Mae Alice Engron. Given the thin institutional documentation, descriptions should emphasize observable evidence such as medium, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, condition, and provenance instead of assigning an unsupported series, period, or subject. Appraisily therefore presents the identity and market record cautiously, separating sourced biographical statements from auction cataloguing and automated name matching.

## Common works and media

Oil paintings are the only specific work type identified by the collected biographical source. Appraisily's market index also assigns matched records to broad categories covering paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Those category labels are broad and should not be treated as proof that every listed medium belongs to Engron's documented practice. For an individual object, confirm the physical medium, support, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, edition status where relevant, provenance, and catalogue attribution.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's collected market snapshot contains 11 matched auction records, nine with recorded prices, spanning 2004–2025. It reports an observed range of $350–$3,000 and a median near $1,300, but this is a thin dataset rather than a price forecast. An appraisal should compare works with similar medium, dimensions, date, condition, subject, provenance, signature or inscriptions, and attribution confidence. Buyers and owners should also check whether reported totals include premiums or fees. Because one indexed lot title conflicts with Wikidata about Engron's life dates, identity matching and catalogue attribution deserve particular scrutiny before a comparable sale is relied upon.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Thin datasets and unresolved identity conflicts are disclosed rather than treated as conclusive.
