## About Salvatore Zofrea

Salvatore Zofrea is an Australian artist and painter born in Italy in 1946. International authority records from VIAF and Getty ULAN establish a stable identity for him, while Wikidata and Wikipedia corroborate his public name and Australian context. The available sources are stronger on identity than on art-historical interpretation: they do not reliably assign Zofrea to a named movement or document recurring subjects and titled series. Collectors nevertheless encounter his name regularly in the secondary market. Appraisily's matched public-auction index contains hundreds of records and groups listings across fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. These are broad market classifications rather than a complete catalogue of his practice. For entity matching, the most useful identifiers are his 1946 birth year and the linked VIAF, Getty ULAN, Library of Congress, ISNI, German National Library, and Wikidata authority records.

## Common works and media

Matched auction listings are grouped broadly as fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Painting is independently supported as Zofrea's occupation and medium, while the other categories derive from Appraisily's market classifications. A specific object should therefore be identified from its materials, technique, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, edition information, and physical condition rather than assigned a work type from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

A Salvatore Zofrea appraisal should compare the object with public sales of works sharing its medium, size, date, subject, and attribution status. Condition, restoration, surface quality, signatures, inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references may also affect comparability. Public results should be normalized carefully because reported prices may treat buyer premiums and fees differently. Broad artist-level medians or price ranges cannot establish the value of an individual work, particularly when category classifications are mixed. Private transactions, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may also be absent, so market records should be combined with direct examination and current comparable-lot research.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Private sales and incomplete or changing attributions may not be represented.
