## About Robert Buhler

Robert Buhler (1916–1989) is identified by Wikidata and VIAF as a British artist and painter. A separate biographical summary describes him as Swiss, born in England, and working mainly there, so British and Swiss contexts both appear in public references. His documented practice centers on landscape and portrait painting. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in connection with painted views and portraits rather than a single documented series or technique. Authority records connect Buhler with Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, Tate, and Art UK profiles, providing a useful identity framework for distinguishing the artist and organizing auction records. The available source material does not support assigning him to a formal movement or claiming a narrower specialty such as a particular paint medium. Appraisily consequently presents his identity, dates, and principal subject categories while keeping unresolved nationality terminology and unsupported stylistic classifications explicit.

## Common works and media

Public identity sources characterize Buhler as a painter associated with landscapes and portraits. These are the principal supported work types for cataloging and appraisal searches. The collected evidence does not justify adding drawings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, posters, editions, or a specific painting medium to his common output.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal of a work attributed to Robert Buhler should begin by matching the attribution to the painter born in 1916 and deceased in 1989, using authority identifiers where possible. Landscape and portrait works should be compared within their respective categories rather than treated as interchangeable. Relevant public auction records can provide context when their artist attribution and work type align. The present research does not supply lot-level evidence about dimensions, detailed medium, date, condition, provenance, editions, or realized-price history, so it does not support a blanket price range or market-trend claim. Those object-specific facts should be established before drawing conclusions from comparable sales.

## 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 and can be matched reliably to the artist.
