## About Roland Strasser

Roland Strasser was an Austrian painter and graphic artist whose identity appears in Getty, VIAF, Wikidata, RKD, and national-library authority records. The collected authorities do not provide enough consistent evidence to assign him to a specific movement, and they disagree over whether he was born in 1892 or 1895; 1892 is retained here provisionally because it is supported by the Getty-linked authority record. His death year is generally recorded as 1974. Collectors may encounter Strasser through paintings, works on paper, prints, and other objects catalogued under broader fine-art or edition categories. Because public records can merge namesakes or apply broad classifications, identification should rest on the individual work's signature, inscriptions, medium, subject, date, provenance, and catalogue history. These object-level details are especially important when connecting a work to the correct Roland Strasser authority record and selecting useful auction comparables.

## Common works and media

Auction and authority data most clearly support paintings, graphic art, works on paper, and prints associated with Roland Strasser. Appraisily's matched records also use broader categories including sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions, but the collected identity sources do not independently establish those as characteristic parts of his practice. For appraisal purposes, each object should therefore be classified from its physical medium, dimensions, technique, inscriptions, edition status, and catalogue description rather than from an artist-name match alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Roland Strasser has a meaningful body of matched public auction records, but a single headline result or median should not be treated as an appraisal. Compare works with similar medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, and attribution status. Signatures and inscriptions, restoration history, provenance, exhibition history, edition information, and catalogue references may also affect how closely one lot compares with another. Broadly categorized records—especially sculpture, mixed media, decorative objects, or editions—need object-level review before they are assumed to represent the same artistic practice. Reported prices may include fees on different bases, while private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent.

## 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. Authority conflicts and incomplete market coverage are retained as limitations rather than resolved by guesswork.
