## About Matt Lamb

Matt Lamb (1932–2012) was an American painter whose identity is consistently represented across Wikidata and VIAF, with further stable authority links to Getty ULAN and the Library of Congress. The collected material supports his basic lifespan, nationality, and occupation, but it does not provide enough substantive biographical detail to assign him confidently to a particular movement or school. For collectors, Lamb is most clearly encountered through paintings and auction-record indexing under his name. Object-level research remains important because the source pack does not establish recurring subjects, named series, studio periods, print editions, or a catalogue raisonné. Appraisily therefore presents him conservatively as an American painter and uses stable authority identifiers to distinguish him from other people with the same surname while keeping unsupported stylistic and market claims out of the profile.

## Common works and media

The available authority records identify Matt Lamb as a painter, making paintings the only clearly supported work type in this source pack. The collected evidence does not establish recurring subjects, named series, editioned prints, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, posters, or other categories, so those classifications should be confirmed from the individual object and its documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected evidence supports treating paintings as the principal auction category for Matt Lamb, but it does not identify specific series, subjects, dates, or techniques associated with different market responses. Appraisal should therefore begin with the individual object's attribution and documentation, followed by comparison with relevant public auction records associated with the artist. Sale dates and realized prices can provide context when genuinely comparable lots are available, but this source pack does not establish a price trend or predictive range. Medium, dimensions, condition, provenance, and date should be documented during appraisal research, without assuming that their effect on Lamb's market has been established here.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Claims are limited when the collected evidence does not support greater specificity.
