## About Shlomo Alter

Shlomo Alter is an artist represented in international authority data and in Appraisily's matched public-auction index. Wikidata records a 1936 birth year, while Getty ULAN and VIAF supply stable identifiers that help distinguish this artist from people with similar names. The collected sources do not establish a full birth date, nationality, training, movement, or documented career chronology, so those details should remain open rather than be inferred from sale listings. Collectors may encounter the name across a broad auction dataset that includes fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. These are market-index categories, not a definitive catalogue of Alter's oeuvre. For appraisal or cataloguing, the work itself—its medium, dimensions, inscriptions, date, provenance, and attribution evidence—should be checked against closely comparable records and stronger artist documentation when available.

## Common works and media

The available market index groups auction appearances under fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Because no museum, estate, catalogue raisonné, or scholarly oeuvre source was collected, these classifications should guide record discovery rather than be treated as confirmation that every category represents an established part of Alter's practice.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's current index reports matched public auction records for Shlomo Alter, but the source page presents differing summary counts, so the dataset should be treated as an evolving comparison set rather than a complete sales history. Useful comparisons should align medium, size, date or career period, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, subject matter, and attribution confidence. Recent public results for genuinely similar works are more informative than an overall median drawn from mixed categories. Reported prices may handle buyer's premium and fees differently, while private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. Authentication and direct condition inspection remain essential before reaching a value conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, reported realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Coverage may be incomplete, and identity, attribution, condition, and price-reporting conventions require case-specific review.
