## About Vlastislav Hofman

Vlastislav Hofman (1884–1964) was a Czech artist and architect whose practice extended well beyond building design. Collected identity sources describe him as an architect and artist, while secondary biographical material also records work as a painter, graphic artist, stage designer, furniture designer, urban planner, architectural theorist, and author. He worked first in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and later in Czechoslovakia, placing his career across a major political and cultural transition in Central Europe. The collected biography associates his architecture with Cubist influence, although the present source pack does not contain accessible museum text confirming a formal movement label. Collectors may therefore encounter his name across several object classes rather than through paintings alone. Graphic works, theatrical designs, furniture or design material, and architecture-related works can require distinct cataloguing. That breadth makes firm identification of an object's medium, function, date, and relationship to Hofman's documented practice especially important.

## Common works and media

Works associated with Hofman may include paintings, graphic art, stage or scenographic designs, furniture and other design material, and architecture-related works. The collected sources establish the breadth of his professional activity but do not provide a detailed catalogue of formats, techniques, editions, subjects, or named series. Objects should therefore be classified from their physical characteristics and documentation before being matched with comparable auction records.

## Market and appraisal context

Hofman's market context should be considered by work type rather than as one uniform category. A painting, graphic work, theatrical design, furniture object, or architecture-related design may have a different collector base and should be compared with records from the same discipline. The Appraisily input indicates a substantial auction-record corpus, but the collected source pack does not provide individual lot descriptions, realized prices, condition information, dimensions, provenance, editions, or sale dates. It therefore supports identifying likely market categories, not estimating a specific object's value or asserting a price trend. A defensible appraisal would require examination of the object and category-matched public auction records.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This source pack establishes Hofman's identity and multidisciplinary practice but provides limited lot-level market detail.
