## Artist identity



## About Susan Pear Meisel

Susan Pear Meisel is an artist born in 1947 whose identity is represented in Wikidata and international library-authority systems, including VIAF. The available authority record establishes the preferred form “Meisel, Susan Pear” and connects the identity to several national-library identifiers. Appraisily's collected market index also associates her name with a substantial body of public auction listings. The present source pack does not establish a nationality, artistic movement, training history, institutional collection record, or a dependable account of her subjects and techniques. Those details should therefore remain unstated until stronger museum, university, gallery, or artist-controlled documentation becomes available. Collectors currently encounter Meisel chiefly through auction records spanning several broadly classified art and decorative-art categories. Because those classifications may reflect auction-house cataloguing rather than a scholarly description of her practice, individual objects should be evaluated from their own medium, inscriptions, dimensions, provenance, condition, and attribution evidence.

## Common works and media

The auction index places matched Susan Pear Meisel listings in broad categories that include paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, decorative art, and editions. The source pack does not provide enough object-level or institutional evidence to confirm which of these categories define her primary practice. A collector should identify the actual medium, support, dimensions, subject, signature or inscription, edition information, and condition of a work before selecting comparable sales.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's collected auction snapshot reports matched records dated from 2002 through 2026, with priced observations ranging from $10 to $450 and a median near $100. These figures describe the indexed records, not a guaranteed value for another object. The snapshot also contains differing totals for tracked lots and matched records, so counts require reconciliation. For appraisal, compare works sharing the closest medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, signature or inscription, edition status, provenance, and attribution confidence. Sale venue and whether a reported price includes buyer premiums or other fees can also affect comparisons. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, restoration, authentication findings, and later attribution changes may not appear in public auction data.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public results are a research starting point and should be checked against the specific object's attribution, provenance, medium, and condition.
