## About Max Slevogt

Max Slevogt (1868–1932) was a German artist associated with German Impressionism. Public summaries describe him as a painter and illustrator and place him, with Max Liebermann and Lovis Corinth, among the prominent German representatives of plein-air painting. Landscapes are especially associated with his name, while the collected material also identifies portraits, religious imagery, graphic art, and book illustration within his practice. His work therefore spans easel painting and reproducible graphic formats rather than fitting one object category. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with landscape paintings, portraits of performers, illustrated publications, and graphic cycles. Identifying an object requires establishing its medium, format, subject, and relationship to this documented practice. Authority records maintained by Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and IdRef, together with MoMA’s institutional artist profile, provide stable identifiers that help match Slevogt consistently across museum, library, catalogue, and auction records.

## Common works and media

The available sources most clearly associate Slevogt with paintings, illustrations, and graphic art. Landscapes are the principal documented subject, while portraits—particularly images of performers—and religious themes also appear in the collected biographical material. Book illustrations and graphic cycles may also arise in collection, auction, and appraisal contexts. The pack does not document specific editions, catalogue numbers, or the relative market frequency of these formats, so object type and authorship wording should be verified before works are treated as comparable.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected Appraisily input associates 1,010 auction records with Max Slevogt, indicating a substantial body of records to investigate, but this source pack contains no individual lot results. An appraisal should first distinguish paintings from illustrations and other graphic works, then compare relevant subject matter such as landscapes, portraits, or religious imagery. Comparable records should be reviewed for attribution wording, medium, dimensions, date, condition, provenance, and, where applicable, edition or impression details. Sale date, currency, and realized price also need verification in the original catalogue. Because those lot-level fields are absent here, the record count alone cannot establish category frequency, price direction, scarcity, or a value conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records and auction-house context. When underlying records are available, appraisal research also considers sale dates, realized prices, and genuinely comparable lots; the present source pack does not expose those lot-level details.
