## About Qifeng Gao

Gao Qifeng (1889–1933) was a Chinese painter and a co-founder of the Lingnan School, alongside Gao Jianfu and Chen Shuren. The collected biographical account describes early training connected with Ju Lian, followed by travel to Tokyo in 1907 to study Japanese and Western painting. It also places him within the political and cultural changes surrounding the end of the Qing dynasty, including work on the nationalist magazine The True Record. After returning to China, Gao concentrated on art and teaching; the account notes positions in Guangzhou and an honorary professorship at Lingnan University in 1925. From 1929, illness led him to Ersha Island, where he taught students through the Tianfang Studio. Collectors encounter his name in discussions of modern Chinese painting and the Lingnan School’s engagement with Chinese, Japanese, and Western pictorial approaches. Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty authority records help match his identity across cataloguing systems.

## Common works and media

The source pack supports painting as Gao Qifeng’s principal work type and connects his practice with the study of Chinese, Japanese, and Western painting approaches. It does not provide object-level collection or auction entries sufficient to establish recurring supports, techniques, subjects, formats, or edition histories. Works should therefore be described at the broad level of paintings unless a specific museum or auction record documents additional characteristics.

## Market and appraisal context

The supplied Appraisily input reports 234 records associated with Gao Qifeng, but the collected artist-page response did not expose individual lots, sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or attribution language. This profile therefore cannot characterize frequency by medium, subject, date, or sale venue, and it does not infer a price range or market trend. The next evidence step for an appraisal is to inspect accessible auction records and comparable lots, then relate those records to the catalogued characteristics of the specific object. Until that evidence is available, painting is the only supported broad auction category; narrower market segments and artist-specific valuation factors remain open rather than assumed.

## 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. For Gao Qifeng, the collected identity evidence is stronger than the available lot-level market detail.
