## About Ronnie Tjampitjinpa

Ronnie Tjampitjinpa is identified in public authority data as an Australian painter born in 1943. A collected German-language biographical profile further describes him as an Aboriginal painter living and working in Kintore, while VIAF and the British Museum provide stable identity records that help distinguish him across catalogues and collections. The available source material does not establish a precise birth date, named movement, detailed chronology, or documented series, so those gaps should not be filled by assumption. Collectors encounter his name chiefly through paintings and public auction records indexed under several broad fine-art categories. Appraisily’s detailed market snapshot covers matched records dated from 2002 through 2026 and reports 434 records, including 216 priced results. These records can help locate comparable lots, but the identity, attribution, medium, dimensions, date, condition, provenance, and documentation of each object still require individual review.

## Common works and media

The source pack securely supports painting as Ronnie Tjampitjinpa’s principal documented medium. Appraisily’s auction index also groups matched records under fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because the captured category concentration is described as broad or sparse, these labels should be treated as search groupings rather than a verified catalogue of the artist’s practice. Confirm the actual medium, support, dimensions, date, inscription, edition status, condition, provenance, and attribution of an object before selecting comparable sales.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected Appraisily snapshot provides a useful body of public auction evidence, but it should not be reduced to a single expected price. Its detailed index reports an observed range from $90 to $79,773 and a median near $2,500 while warning that fees and reporting conventions may differ. Appraisal should prioritize lots matching the work’s medium, dimensions, date or career period, condition, restoration history, inscriptions, edition details, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and subject matter. Recent public sales provide context, but private transactions, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. Any conclusion should reconcile comparable records with direct examination and object-specific documentation.

## 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-sale data may be incomplete and does not replace object-specific authentication, condition review, or professional appraisal.
