## About Vasili Grachev

Vasili Grachev is identified in Wikidata as a Russian artist. The collected public sources do not include a museum biography, detailed authority record, catalogue raisonné, or scholarly chronology, so specific life dates, training, movements, and career periods cannot yet be stated responsibly. Collectors are most likely to encounter the name through auction listings. Appraisily’s matched records include a bronze sculpture listing and organize results under several broad auction categories, although those labels should not be treated as a confirmed catalogue of Grachev’s complete practice. The market data also contains variant name forms, increasing the importance of comparing signatures, inscriptions, medium, subject, date, foundry or edition information, and provenance before assigning a work to this artist. Until stronger institutional evidence becomes available, the identity should be presented conservatively and each object assessed on its own documentation.

## Common works and media

Bronze sculpture is the only specific work type visible in the collected auction excerpt. The Appraisily record also uses broad categories covering paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art and editions, but the source pack does not establish that all of these represent recognized parts of Grachev’s documented oeuvre. Category matches and variant-name records should be checked against the individual object’s signature, inscriptions, subject, dimensions, casting or edition details, provenance, and date.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin with public sales for works that genuinely match the object’s medium, dimensions, subject, date, condition, and attribution. For sculpture, casting quality, foundry marks, inscriptions, patina, edition information, repairs, and provenance may help distinguish relevant comparables. Appraisily’s current page provides an observed auction record and broad category groupings, but the underlying identity evidence remains limited and its displayed record counts use differing definitions. Reported prices may also vary in their treatment of buyer’s premiums or fees. Public results therefore provide context rather than a stand-alone valuation, and authentication, condition review, ownership history, and object-specific research remain important.

## Appraisily data basis

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