## About Shimshon Holzman

Shimshon Holzman (1907–1986) was an Israeli painter born in Galicia. Public authority records align his English and Hebrew name forms and identify him as an Israeli painter, helping distinguish his works from those of similarly named makers. Available biographical material describes him as a landscape and figurative painter especially associated with watercolor. These descriptors are useful when assessing whether a catalog entry likely refers to this artist. Collectors may encounter records under Shimshon Holzman, the inverted form “Holzman, Shimshon,” the abbreviation “S. Holzman,” or Hebrew variants. The present source pack does not document a formal movement, school, detailed exhibition history, or catalogue raisonné, so this profile does not assign one. It also does not establish specific periods or named series. For entity matching, the strongest evidence is the agreement among Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and linked library authority records on his identity and 1907–1986 lifespan.

## Common works and media

Available biographical material associates Holzman principally with watercolor painting and identifies landscapes and figures as characteristic subjects. These are the most defensible work types for catalog and appraisal matching in the present source pack. No reliable collected source establishes sculptures, ceramics, prints, posters, editions, named series, or another recurring category, so such classifications should be evaluated from the individual object and its documentation rather than assumed.

## Market and appraisal context

A valuation review should separate identity evidence from market evidence. For a possible Holzman work, the available sources support checking the stated medium, distinguishing landscape from figurative subject matter, and resolving attribution through recognized English and Hebrew name forms. The collected source pack confirms an Appraisily auction-price page but does not expose individual lot descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition, provenance, editions, or auction-house attribution. This profile therefore does not support a price range, market trend, or claim that a particular subject commands a premium. Those judgments require examination of the object and comparison with relevant, verified lot-level auction records.

## 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. This profile distinguishes authority-supported identity facts from market details that still require lot-level evidence.
