## About The Connor Brothers

The Connor Brothers is the shared artistic identity used by Mike Snelle and James Golding, artists who previously operated London art galleries. The name was initially created around a fictional American duo, Franklin and Brendan Connor. That constructed origin remains relevant to entity matching because auction catalogues may name The Connor Brothers as the artist while biographical references identify Snelle and Golding behind the pseudonym. Collectors encounter the name across a substantial auction record covering fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions. Appraisily's collected public dataset spans sale dates from 2015 through 2026, showing repeated auction appearances across several object types. The available source material does not establish birth dates, nationality, a formal movement, or recurring subjects with sufficient authority, so those details are intentionally left unspecified rather than inferred.

## Common works and media

Auction records associated with The Connor Brothers appear in categories that include paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. For appraisal purposes, the exact medium and format should be established before comparison. Prints and other editioned works also require verification of edition information, signatures, inscriptions, condition, and attribution.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin with genuinely comparable works rather than the overall price range for the name. Relevant filters include medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, attribution confidence, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, subject matter, and rarity. The collected Appraisily page reports 1,134 matched auction records, including 752 priced records, across sales dated from 2015 through 2026. That breadth can help identify comparables, but paintings, prints, editions, sculpture, and mixed-media objects should be assessed within their respective categories. Public results are a starting point: a defensible opinion also requires examination of the specific object's authorship, physical state, edition status, and relationship to recent comparable lots.

## Appraisily data basis

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