## About Oscar Zalameda

Oscar Zalameda (1930–2010), also identified as Oscar de Zalameda, was a Filipino painter. The collected authority records establish this basic identity, while Filipino- and Dutch-language Wikipedia pages corroborate his name and occupation. The available sources do not establish a specific movement, school, training history, or documented subject repertoire, so those details should not be inferred. In auction and appraisal settings, collectors primarily encounter his name in connection with paintings and attributed catalog records. Appraisily's market page also groups matched records under works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Because that page describes its category concentration as broad or sparse, these labels are better treated as search and appraisal categories than as a definitive account of Zalameda's practice. Identification should begin with the artist name, medium, date, signature or inscriptions, provenance, and comparison with well-documented works.

## Common works and media

The strongest supported work type is painting, reflecting the authority sources' identification of Zalameda as a painter. Appraisily's auction index additionally groups matched records as works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Those secondary categories have lower confidence because the available source pack does not document individual examples or provide an oeuvre catalogue, and the market page itself characterizes category concentration as broad or sparse. Each object should therefore be assessed on its own medium, construction, signature or inscriptions, date, edition status where relevant, provenance, and attribution evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal of a work attributed to Oscar Zalameda should be based on closely comparable public sales rather than a page-wide median or price range. Relevant comparisons should align in medium, dimensions, date, career period, subject, condition, and attribution confidence. Signatures and inscriptions, restoration history, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references may also affect how a work is assessed. Edition information matters for prints or other multiples. Appraisily's public index cautions that buyer premiums and fees may be reported inconsistently and that private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. Auction data therefore provides useful market evidence, but authentication, physical inspection, and condition review remain essential to a defensible appraisal.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Coverage may exclude private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes.
