## About Sergio Vacchi

Sergio Vacchi (1925–2016) was an Italian painter whose identity is consistently represented in Wikidata and VIAF and linked to Getty's ULAN authority record. The collected authority data supports his nationality, profession, and life years, while a French-language biographical entry supplies the more precise dates 1 April 1925 and 14 January 2016. An Italian-language overview associates Vacchi with Informale, but the available sources do not include a museum, foundation, catalogue raisonné, or scholarly text that independently establishes that movement attribution. The most reliable public description is therefore deliberately narrow: Vacchi was an Italian painter of the twentieth-century generation born in the 1920s. Collectors may encounter his name through paintings and public auction records, where careful entity matching matters because authority files use both natural-order and inverted-name forms. Further institutional research is needed to describe his chronology, subjects, exhibitions, and stylistic development with confidence.

## Common works and media

Vacchi is consistently identified as a painter, making paintings the best-supported category for auction and appraisal matching. The current evidence does not justify asserting particular supports, techniques, recurring subjects, print editions, sculptures, ceramics, or named series. Those details should be added only when an individual work's cataloguing or stronger institutional research confirms them.

## Market and appraisal context

Public Appraisily data indicates an auction-record footprint for Sergio Vacchi, but the collected sources contain no detailed catalogue entries from a major auction house. Appraisal should therefore begin with identity and attribution: confirm that the work is catalogued under the Italian painter represented by Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN. Painting is the only medium category established here. Comparable records should be reviewed lot by lot, using sale date and realized price where available, rather than treated as a prediction. Adjustments for dimensions, condition, provenance, subject, technique, and date require object-level documentation and matched comparables; this research does not support artist-wide premiums, trends, or scarcity claims.

## 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.
