## About Nahum Tschacbasov

Nahum Tschacbasov (1899–1984) is identified by Getty’s artist authority as an American painter and printmaker. Wikidata, VIAF, and IdRef independently align his identity and life years, while Getty records several spelling variants, including Nahum Tschakbassoff. Secondary biographical summaries describe him as Russian-born and connect him with The Ten, an Expressionist artists’ group, but the collected institutional sources do not yet corroborate that movement affiliation. It is therefore best treated as provisional context rather than a settled classification. For collectors, the strongest established profile is an American artist active in both painting and printmaking. Appraisily’s public artist page currently groups 239 indexed auction records under his name. Because authority files preserve multiple spellings, searches of auction catalogs, collection records, signatures, and historical references may need to account for those variants before concluding that apparently separate records concern different artists.

## Common works and media

The authority evidence supports paintings and prints as the principal work types collectors may encounter under Tschacbasov’s name. The collected sources do not establish particular techniques, recurring subjects, named series, edition practices, or a reliable category breakdown across the indexed auction records, so narrower descriptions should be verified object by object.

## Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports a cautious market view rather than a price forecast. Getty’s classification makes work type—especially painting versus print—a useful first distinction, while its documented spelling variants make consistent attribution and cataloguing important. Appraisily groups 239 indexed auction records on this public artist page, allowing appraisals to examine comparable lots, sale dates, and realized prices when those details are available. The collected pack does not include major-auction-house lot excerpts, condition reports, edition information, provenance, or authentication evidence. Those gaps should be resolved before drawing conclusions from a single auction result or assigning value to an individual object.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine authority-based artist identity research with indexed auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Identity and market evidence are kept distinct so an auction record is not treated as proof of authorship or authentication.
