## About Otto Ditscher

Otto Ditscher (1903–1987) was a German painter associated with the Pfälzische Sezession, an artists' association identified in the available biographical record. Public authority profiles connect his name across Wikidata, VIAF, the Library of Congress, the German National Library, and ISNI, helping distinguish him in catalogues and auction data. Collectors may encounter his work primarily under painting and broader fine-art headings, while matched auction records also classify objects under works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. These market categories should be treated as broad index classifications rather than a complete catalogue of his practice. The available source pack is stronger on identity than on Ditscher's training, exhibitions, stylistic development, or named bodies of work. This profile therefore keeps the biography narrow while using public auction records to describe the kinds of attributed objects that may appear in appraisal contexts.

## Common works and media

Auction records associated with Otto Ditscher are grouped most clearly under fine art and paintings. The available market index also includes works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because these are broad auction classifications rather than a catalogue raisonné, each object should be checked for its exact medium, dimensions, signature or inscription, date, edition status where relevant, condition, provenance, and strength of attribution.

## Market and appraisal context

Otto Ditscher's auction results should be compared with works sharing the same medium, dimensions, date, subject, and attribution status. Condition, restoration, surface quality, signatures, inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references may also affect how a lot compares with prior sales. Appraisily's public page contains matched auction records, but its category groupings are broad and the number of priced records is smaller than the full record set. Realized prices may also be reported under differing fee conventions. A responsible appraisal should therefore examine like-for-like public sales and the physical and documentary evidence for the individual object rather than treating an artist-wide median or observed range as a prediction.

## Appraisily data basis

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