## About Peter Curling

Peter Curling is a British artist born in 1955 and identified as a painter by international authority records. His identity is linked across VIAF, Getty’s Union List of Artist Names, Wikidata, the Library of Congress, and Art UK, helping distinguish him from people or subjects associated with the sport of curling. Appraisily’s collected directory input associates 365 auction records with his name, which explains why collectors may encounter him while researching secondary-market objects. The available public source pack, however, provides only a limited biographical outline. It does not establish a particular movement, school, training history, geographic practice, signature subject, or documented series. Those details should therefore be verified from stronger catalogues, institutional biographies, or object-specific records before being used in attribution or appraisal. The authority evidence supports a British painter born in 1955, but not a more detailed artistic classification.

## Common works and media

Painting is the only work type supported by the collected authority evidence, which identifies Peter Curling as a painter. The source pack does not substantiate particular subjects, materials, print editions, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, posters, named series, or periods. Objects outside painting should not be presented as common Curling works without additional catalogue or auction-house evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected material confirms an auction-record presence for Peter Curling but does not provide individual sale results or enough lot-level detail for a reliable market pattern. An appraisal should examine the object itself and compare it with documented public lots, paying attention to attribution language, medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, provenance, signatures, inscriptions, and sale timing where those facts are available. The directory record count alone does not establish authenticity, demand, scarcity, or value. Comparable sales are most useful when their cataloguing and physical characteristics closely match the work being assessed; this source pack does not contain enough evidence to identify which characteristics have historically produced higher or lower results for Curling’s work.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity data with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Source limitations and unresolved identity or market questions are retained rather than replaced with unsupported conclusions.
