## About Virgilio Guidi

Virgilio Guidi (1891–1984) was an Italian painter, sculptor, poet, and writer. Wikidata and IdRef identify the same historical figure, while the Museum of Modern Art maintains an institutional artist record for him. Together, these linked profiles help distinguish Guidi from similarly named people and connect artworks, publications, and collection references to a stable entity. Collectors may encounter his name in relation to both two-dimensional and three-dimensional work because the available evidence identifies him as a painter and sculptor. The collected materials do not establish a particular movement, school, recurring subject, named series, or detailed artistic chronology, so this profile does not infer those associations. Appraisily therefore presents Guidi through verified identity and occupation data, then connects that identity with available auction records without treating an auction-directory name match as proof of authorship or authenticity.

## Common works and media

The grounded evidence supports paintings and sculptures as work types associated with Guidi. It also documents his activity as a poet and writer, but the source pack does not establish whether literary manuscripts or publications commonly appear in his auction market. No supported breakdown is available for particular painting techniques, sculptural materials, prints, drawings, editions, recurring subjects, or named series, so those categories should be confirmed from object-specific documentation and comparable lot records.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should begin by matching the catalogued artist to the Virgilio Guidi represented in museum and authority records. The supported visual-art practices are painting and sculpture, making the type of object an important starting point when selecting comparable records. The collected source pack does not contain lot-level condition, provenance, dimensions, execution dates, edition statements, estimates, or realized prices, so it cannot substantiate a price range or market trend. When public auction records are available, comparisons should use closely related objects and should verify each lot’s attribution and cataloguing instead of relying on the artist-name match alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity records with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity matching does not replace object-specific attribution, condition, provenance, or authenticity review.
