## About Mubin Orhon

Mubin Orhon, commonly catalogued with the Turkish spelling Mübin Orhon, was a Turkish artist born in 1924 and deceased in 1981. Public identity records from Wikidata and VIAF connect these name forms and establish his lifespan, while the available biographical source describes him as an abstract painter. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter his name in connection with twentieth-century abstract painting. The supplied sources also report works in the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in Norwich and Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, indicating recognition beyond private ownership and the auction market. VIAF links Orhon to Library of Congress, ISNI, Wikidata, and Getty authority records, which helps distinguish him from similarly named creators and reconcile variant catalogue spellings. The present source pack is strongest on identity and broad artistic context; it is not detailed enough to assign particular paintings to documented series or to describe a complete stylistic chronology.

## Common works and media

The available public sources identify Orhon primarily as an abstract painter, so paintings are the best-supported category for appraisal and auction research. This source pack does not adequately document recurring subjects, named series, print editions, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or other work types. Such classifications should be added only when an individual object, institutional catalogue, or auction-house record supplies direct evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal of a work catalogued as Mubin or Mübin Orhon should begin with reliable creator identification because both spellings occur in public authority records. The supplied evidence supports painting as the principal work type and identifies an abstract-art context, but it does not provide enough major-auction-house detail to establish price levels or market trends. Any valuation should therefore examine the individual object’s attribution, medium, dimensions, date, provenance, condition, inscriptions, and exhibition or collection history, then compare it with appropriately matched public sales. Realized prices should be interpreted alongside sale date, currency, lot description, and the degree of similarity between the subject work and each comparable lot.

## 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. Identity claims here are grounded mainly in Wikidata, VIAF, and corroborating public biographical material; object-specific conclusions require separate catalogue and condition evidence.
