## About Max Kühne

Max Kühne (1880–1968), commonly catalogued as Max Kuehne, was an American artist whose authority records identify him as a painter, sculptor, engraver, ceramicist, and craftsperson. Getty ULAN also records him as a student of William Merritt Chase. That broad practice is central to understanding his identity: his name may appear on fine-art works as well as objects associated with decorative or applied arts. Collectors can therefore encounter Kuehne in painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, and crafted-object contexts, with cataloguers using several spellings, including Kuehne, Kühne, and Keuhne. The available authority data establishes his American affiliation and multidisciplinary roles more clearly than it establishes a single movement or signature subject. The most useful entity signals are consequently his life years, alternate spellings, documented training relationship, and range of artistic occupations.

## Common works and media

Authority records support a varied body of work spanning paintings, sculpture, engraved or printed works, ceramics, and crafted decorative objects. The available source pack does not establish a single dominant subject, movement, named series, or edition practice, so an appraisal should identify the specific medium and object category before selecting comparisons.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal research for Max Kühne should begin by separating records according to object type. Authority sources document activity across painting, sculpture, engraving, ceramics, and craftwork, so comparisons should remain within the relevant category rather than treating every attributed object as equivalent. Catalogue and auction searches should also include the spellings Max Kuehne, Max Kühne, and Keuhne. Appraisily’s public artist page supplies the market signal available in this source pack; individual sale dates, realized prices, descriptions, and comparable lots should be reviewed when those records are available. The collected evidence does not support a price forecast or market-trend claim.

## Appraisily data basis
