## About Martin Mooney

Martin Mooney is a British painter born in 1960. Wikidata identifies him as a painter, while VIAF consolidates authority records that describe him as a British artist and connect the name with several library and art-reference identifiers. This authority trail is particularly important because a prominent Wikipedia page under the same name concerns a Scottish footballer rather than the artist. The collected evidence does not establish a specific movement, school, subject specialty, or detailed career chronology, so those attributes should not be inferred. Collectors may encounter Mooney's name in connection with paintings and public auction records, but any object should be matched to the artist through reliable cataloguing and provenance evidence rather than the name alone. The current research supports a stable basic identity while leaving fuller biographical and art-historical context for future institutional sourcing.

## Common works and media

Painting is the only work type supported by the usable identity sources in this pack. The evidence does not establish whether Mooney commonly worked in oil, acrylic, watercolor, mixed media, prints, drawings, sculpture, or editions, and it does not document recurring subjects or named series. Those details should be taken from the specific object, reliable institutional records, or catalogued auction lots rather than inferred.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by confirming that a work is associated with the British painter born in 1960, rather than another person with the same name. The source pack signals auction-record coverage on Appraisily but does not provide usable individual lot descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, condition information, provenance, or other comparison details. Relevant public records should therefore be reviewed before selecting comparable works or reaching a value conclusion. The present research supports identity-level context and a broad paintings category; it does not support a price forecast, scarcity assessment, or claim about market direction.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity information with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Martin Mooney, the present source pack provides stronger identity evidence than work-level or market-detail evidence.
