## About Richard Horn

Richard Horn (1898–1989) was a German sculptor. Wikidata and VIAF identify him by profession and life years, while the German National Library records Berlin as his birthplace and Halle (Saale) as his place of death. These authority links provide a stable identity for matching auction records to the correct artist. Public media records also document a bronze commemorative relief and a 1949 monument to Wilhelm Roux in Halle. The collected sources do not establish exact birth or death dates, artistic training, a named movement, recurring subjects, or a comprehensive catalogue of works, so those details should not be inferred. Collectors may encounter Horn through sculpture and relief listings grouped under his name, but each object requires lot-level attribution evidence. This page therefore emphasizes the verified biographical core while keeping broader stylistic and market claims provisional until stronger museum, estate, catalogue, or auction-house documentation becomes available.

## Common works and media

The available authority sources identify Horn as a sculptor. The source pack documents a bronze commemorative relief and the 1949 Wilhelm Roux Monument, making sculpture, relief work, and public memorial art the best-supported work types. It does not establish whether paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics, editions, or other media are characteristic of his practice.

## Market and appraisal context

The source pack supports sculpture as the clearest auction category for Richard Horn, with public media records documenting a bronze relief and a 1949 monument. It does not provide enough lot-level evidence to establish dependable patterns for materials, subjects, dimensions, editions, condition, provenance, or prices. For appraisal, the first task is entity resolution: confirm that a work belongs to the German sculptor who lived from 1898 to 1989. References to Berlin, Halle, or documented work types may assist research but do not prove authorship. Valuation should rely on verified object documentation and genuinely comparable public sales rather than the artist-name grouping alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are publicly available and can be matched to the correct artist.
