## About Walter Fusi

Walter Fusi (1924–2013) was an Italian painter whose identity is documented across several established authority systems, including Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and the Library of Congress. These linked records provide a reliable foundation for distinguishing him from artists with similar names and for connecting auction listings to the correct person. The collected sources identify painting as his field but do not establish a particular movement, school, subject specialization, teaching affiliation, or documented series. Collectors may encounter Fusi through auction records and secondary-market listings, yet individual works should be assessed from their own cataloguing and physical evidence. Because the available source pack is stronger on identity than on artistic biography, claims about stylistic development, influences, geographic associations, or career milestones require further museum, archival, exhibition-catalogue, or scholarly documentation.

## Common works and media

The collected authority records identify Walter Fusi as a painter, making paintings the only work type that can presently be described with confidence. The source pack does not substantiate particular techniques, supports, subjects, print editions, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, posters, named series, or recurring formats. Listings in other categories should therefore be checked against their own cataloguing and the linked artist authority records rather than assumed to be characteristic of his practice.

## Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports treating paintings as the principal auction category associated with Walter Fusi, but it does not provide enough lot-level detail for conclusions about prices or market direction. A useful appraisal should first confirm that the work and signature relate to the same Walter Fusi represented by the linked authority records. Comparable sales should then be selected only from sufficiently documented public auction records. The collected pack does not establish artist-specific effects for medium, date, subject, dimensions, condition, provenance, or exhibition history, so these should not be presented as documented drivers of Fusi's market without additional evidence. Auction results, when available, provide historical transaction context rather than a guaranteed current value.

## 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. For Walter Fusi, the collected evidence is currently strongest for identity and lifespan; detailed biographical and lot-level market evidence remains limited.
