## About Richard Bilan

Richard Bilan is an Israeli painter and visual artist born in Poland in 1946. Public authority records link his identity across Wikidata, Getty ULAN, Library of Congress, and BnF catalogues, while Polish and Hebrew reference pages likewise describe him as a Polish-born Israeli artist. The collected sources do not establish a specific movement, school, formal training, or documented series, so those associations should not be assumed. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name through public auction records, where Appraisily currently matches works under fine-art and painting, works-on-paper and print, sculpture and mixed-media, and decorative-art or edition categories. Because those categories are broad and the source pack contains limited object-level scholarship, any work attributed to Bilan should be evaluated from its own medium, date, dimensions, inscriptions, provenance, condition, and comparison with genuinely similar sold lots.

## Common works and media

Painting is the work type most clearly supported by the collected identity sources. Appraisily's auction index also groups matched records among works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. These broad classifications describe the auction dataset rather than a verified catalogue of Bilan's practice, so medium, technique, edition status, inscriptions, and authorship should be confirmed for each object.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's matched auction index is an orientation tool, not a price guarantee. The public page reports an auction date range of 2014–2026, 102 records, 24 priced records, and an observed range of $25 to $250; coverage may be incomplete and prices may be reported on different fee bases. For appraisal, compare like with like: medium, size, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, subject matter, and recent comparable sales can all affect relevance. The broad category mix should not be read as proof that Bilan regularly worked in every listed medium. Authentication and direct examination remain separate from database matching.

## 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. Database matches are evidence for research, not substitutes for authentication, condition assessment, or a complete appraisal.
