## About Richard Orlinski

Richard Orlinski is a French contemporary artist, born in Paris in 1966 and best known as a sculptor. Library authority records identify him as a French sculptor and also connect him with music and disc-jockey work, while public biographies describe his visual practice in neo-pop terms. His public-facing art presence includes official galleries devoted to his work in Paris, Saint-Tropez, and Deauville. Collectors commonly encounter his name in sculpture, mixed-media, print, and edition categories, with animal imagery, including horses, represented in the official gallery program. Appraisily's matched auction data also documents a substantial secondary-market record across several categories, making precise identity and object matching important when selecting comparable lots. The available sources support his identity and sculptural occupation more strongly than a formal movement classification, so the neo-pop designation is best treated as contextual. Individual works should be assessed through their documented medium, dimensions, date, inscriptions, edition information, provenance, authenticity evidence, and condition.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal records associated with Richard Orlinski commonly appear under sculpture and mixed media, decorative art and editions, prints and works on paper, and broader fine-art categories. The official gallery program also documents monumental sculpture and horse imagery. When examining an edition or sculptural object, record its material, dimensions, color or finish, signature and inscriptions, edition number, certificate, condition, and provenance. These details help distinguish genuinely comparable works from objects that share only a subject or visual style.

## Market and appraisal context

Richard Orlinski market comparisons should begin with works that closely match the object being appraised. Medium, size, date, subject, condition, surface quality, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, and attribution confidence can all affect whether a recorded sale is genuinely comparable. Sculpture and mixed-media records should be separated from prints, works on paper, decorative objects, editions, and paintings. Certificates and other authenticity documentation should be examined rather than assumed from appearance alone. Recent public auction results can provide useful evidence, but reported totals may treat fees differently, and public datasets may omit private transactions or later attribution and condition findings. A defensible appraisal therefore uses multiple relevant lots instead of relying on one headline result or an overall median.

## 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. Public results are evidence inputs, not a substitute for authentication, condition review, or a complete appraisal.
