## About Nanni Valentini

Nanni Valentini (1932–1985) is documented in international authority files, including Wikidata and VIAF, which connects records from the Italian national union catalogue, Library of Congress, German National Library, ISNI, and French authority systems. The collected evidence establishes the artist's name and life years, but it does not provide enough institution-grade biographical detail to assign a nationality, movement, training, or specific artistic period. Collectors encounter Valentini through auction records categorized as paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Those labels describe the categories attached to matched public sale records; they should not be treated as a complete catalogue of the artist's practice. Identification should therefore rely on the individual object's medium, date, inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references, with attribution kept separate from name matching.

## Common works and media

Matched auction records place works attributed to Nanni Valentini under broad categories including paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Because the collected source pack does not contain a museum collection survey or catalogue raisonné, these categories should be used as search and comparison aids rather than as a definitive account of the artist's output. Record the exact medium, dimensions, date, signature or inscriptions, edition markings, and construction before selecting comparable lots.

## Market and appraisal context

Public auction evidence should be used as a comparison set rather than a price forecast. For Nanni Valentini, begin by matching the object to records in the same broad category: paintings, works on paper or prints, sculpture or mixed media, or decorative art and editions. Then compare medium, dimensions, date, condition and restoration history, signature or inscriptions, edition information, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references. Recent sales are most useful when the works are genuinely comparable. Reported totals may treat buyer's premiums and fees differently, while private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may not appear. Authentication and direct condition inspection can therefore materially alter an appraisal conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
