## About Max Uhlig

Max Uhlig, born in Dresden in 1937, is a German painter and draftsperson associated closely with the artistic life of Dresden. Authority records identify painting and drawing as his principal activities, and document his service as a professor at the Dresden University of Fine Arts from 1995 to 2002. Public biographical sources particularly connect his work with portraits, scenes drawn from everyday life, and landscapes. A documented body of pictures made around Mont Ventoux and southern France between 1991 and 1993 provides one identifiable geographic and chronological context for his landscape practice. Uhlig also received the Hans Theo Richter Prize of the Saxon Academy of Arts in 1998. Collectors may encounter his name across paintings, drawings, works on paper, prints, and editions in public auction records. Because the available institutional source pack is stronger on identity than on art-historical interpretation, no specific movement or school is assigned here.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Max Uhlig in appraisal contexts include paintings, drawings, and other works on paper. Portraits, everyday-life subjects, and landscapes are documented themes, including pictures connected with Mont Ventoux and southern France. Appraisily's auction index also groups matched material under prints and editions. Broader labels such as sculpture, mixed media, and decorative art appear in the market data but have weaker support in the biographical sources and should be confirmed from the individual lot description, photographs, measurements, inscriptions, and edition information.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by matching the object to public results for works with comparable medium, dimensions, date, subject, and format. Condition and restoration history can change how closely one result compares with another, while signatures, inscriptions, edition details, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and attribution confidence may help establish an object's market position. Appraisily's matched records place paintings and works on paper among the relevant auction categories, with additional records grouped under prints, editions, sculpture, mixed media, and decorative art. Those broad category labels should be verified against the individual object. Public auction results are reference points rather than price guarantees, and reported totals may differ in their treatment of buyer premiums and fees.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public records may be incomplete and should be assessed alongside attribution, condition, provenance, and object-specific evidence.
