## About Thierry Noir

Thierry Noir is a French artist, painter, and muralist born in 1958 and based in Berlin. After settling there in 1982, he became closely associated with paintings made on the Berlin Wall during the 1980s. His brightly colored wall compositions helped establish an enduring public identity, and surviving examples remain connected with the East Side Gallery and other preserved wall segments. Noir is consequently discussed within the history of Berlin Wall art and as an early figure in the development of European street art. His practice has continued through murals and public-art projects beyond Berlin, while his official website also maintains a catalogue raisonné section. Collectors encounter his work in several formats rather than only as monumental murals: the auction record includes paintings, works on paper, prints, editions, mixed-media pieces, sculpture, and decorative objects. Those varied formats make accurate identification of medium, date, edition status, and relationship to documented projects especially important.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal contexts may include paintings, works on paper, prints, editions, sculpture, mixed-media pieces, decorative objects, and documentation connected with murals or public-art projects. For multiples, edition size and number should be recorded; for unique works, note the support, dimensions, date, inscriptions, surface condition, provenance, and any catalogue or exhibition references.

## Market and appraisal context

Thierry Noir's public auction record covers paintings, works on paper, prints, editions, sculpture, mixed media, and decorative objects. Appraisal should begin with genuinely comparable lots rather than a single artist-wide average. Relevant distinctions include medium, dimensions, execution date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information, provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, and attribution confidence. Subject matter and a work's relationship to documented periods or public-art projects may also affect comparability. Public results can omit private transactions, while reported totals may use different fee conventions. Any valuation conclusion should therefore reconcile recent comparable sales with direct examination, condition evidence, and authentication or catalogue information where appropriate, without treating the broad auction range as a prediction for an individual object.

## 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, changing attributions, and differing fee conventions can limit direct comparisons.
