## About Octave Landuyt

Octave Landuyt, born in Ghent on 26 December 1922, is documented by Belgian and international authority records as a multidisciplinary artist and designer. His practice encompasses painting, sculpture, engraving and other graphic work, ceramics, jewelry, industrial design, theater sets, and several applied-arts fields. Landuyt also taught art, including at the State Normal School in Ghent, connecting his studio practice with art education. The breadth of his output is central to understanding his identity: collectors may encounter his name on fine-art objects as well as designed or decorative works rather than within one medium alone. Museum and authority profiles maintained by MoMA, Getty ULAN, Wikidata, and IdRef help distinguish him across catalogues and collections. Appraisily's artist page also indicates a substantial auction-record footprint, although individual objects still require careful identification by work type and medium.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Landuyt may include paintings, sculptures, engravings and other graphic works, ceramics, jewelry, and industrial or applied-design objects. His documented design activity also extended to stage sets, costumes, textiles, furniture, and carpets. Because this range crosses fine art and decorative art, cataloguing should identify the precise object type and medium before selecting auction comparables.

## Market and appraisal context

Landuyt's varied practice means comparisons should begin with like-for-like works: paintings against paintings, sculptures against sculptures, prints against prints, and design objects against closely related objects. The supplied Appraisily record signal shows that auction data exists for the artist, but this source pack does not establish a single price trend or category hierarchy. A responsible appraisal should use public sales with clear sale dates and realized prices when available, then assess how closely each comparable lot matches the object being researched. The present evidence does not support artist-specific claims about edition size, condition premiums, provenance premiums, rarity, or future price movement; those questions require object-level documentation and comparable-lot review.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Sparse or conflicting evidence is retained as a research caveat rather than converted into an unsupported claim.
