## About Michael Mazur

Michael Mazur (1935–2009), also identified as Michael Burton Mazur, was an American artist whose practice spanned printmaking, painting, and sculpture. Authority and institutional records in the collected source pack distinguish him through Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, MoMA, the National Gallery of Art, and the British Museum. The available biographical evidence is strongest on his identity and broad range of media; it does not establish a specific movement, recurring subject, or named series. Collectors may therefore encounter Mazur’s name across different object types rather than within a single category. Appraisily’s input associates this artist page with 171 auction-directory records, providing a body of sale references that may assist object-level research. Identification should remain anchored to the public authority profiles listed here, particularly because the collected portrait search produced results depicting unrelated people and objects.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Michael Mazur may appear in appraisal and auction contexts as prints or other works on paper, paintings, and sculpture. The collected evidence confirms this multidisciplinary practice but does not identify specific printmaking techniques, recurring subjects, named series, edition sizes, or characteristic materials. Those details should be established from the individual object, its documentation, and a closely matched public record rather than inferred from the artist’s name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Market review should begin by establishing whether a work is a print, painting, or sculpture, since comparisons across those categories may not be meaningful. Appraisily’s input provides a substantial auction-record signal for Michael Mazur, but the collected source pack does not include accessible major-auction-house lot descriptions, a realized-price history, or a breakdown by medium. Any appraisal should therefore rely on object-specific documentation and comparable public sales selected for the same type of work and relevant sale period. The available evidence does not support claims about price direction, rarity, preferred subjects, edition premiums, or the relative performance of particular series.

## 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. This profile distinguishes verified identity evidence from market details that remain undocumented in the collected source pack.
