## About Reinier Lucassen

Reinier Lucassen is a Dutch painter born in 1939. Public authority data identifies him as a Dutch painter, while the available Dutch biographical record places him within Nieuwe Figuratie, or New Figuration. That account associates him with Alphons Freijmuth, Pieter Holstein, Etienne Elias, and Roger Raveel and records that he represented the Netherlands in the Rietveld Pavilion at the 1986 Venice Biennale. A second-language record instead relates his work to Pop Art and mentions collage, so that broader classification remains provisional pending institutional confirmation. Collectors principally encounter Lucassen through paintings and auction records under his full name, although “Luc” is also documented as a shortened form. His identity is reinforced by stable records at Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, GND, ISNI, IdRef, and RKD. The current source pack is stronger for entity matching than for a detailed chronology or catalogue of works.

## Common works and media

The available evidence most reliably identifies Lucassen with painting and New Figuration. One secondary record also mentions collage, but the source pack does not establish a comprehensive list of materials, recurring subjects, named series, print editions, sculptures, or other categories. Auction and appraisal records should therefore describe each object from direct evidence instead of assuming a medium or body of work.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily maintains an auction-results page for Reinier Lucassen, but the collected response does not provide readable lot-level descriptions or realized-price evidence. This profile therefore makes no claim about price direction, scarcity, or the relative performance of particular periods or work types. A defensible appraisal should identify the object carefully and compare it with relevant public auction records available at the time of research. Conclusions should remain tied to documented cataloguing and genuinely comparable lots rather than broad assumptions based only on the artist’s name or movement association.

## 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. Claims here are limited to what the collected public sources substantiate.
