## About Wolfgang Hutter

Wolfgang Hutter (1928–2014) was an Austrian painter and graphic artist associated with the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. Authority records identify him as a painter and graphic artist, while biographical summaries also describe work in drawing, printmaking and stage design. Collectors often recognize Hutter through imagined gardens, abundant vegetation and dreamlike, fairy-tale-like scenes. This fantasy-centered visual language places him within postwar Austrian Fantastic Realism, a context also documented through the 2008 Belvedere exhibition cited by the IdRef authority record. His output can therefore appear in several collecting categories, including unique paintings and drawings as well as prints and other graphic works. Appraisily currently associates his artist page with 226 indexed records, providing a starting point for auction comparison. Individual objects nevertheless require careful identification: authorship, date, medium and any edition information should be verified before comparisons are treated as appraisal evidence.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under Wolfgang Hutter's name may include paintings, drawings, prints and other graphic works; published biographical information also identifies him as a stage designer. Subject descriptions may refer to imagined gardens, plants or dreamlike fairy-tale scenes. The source pack does not contain a catalogue raisonné or a lot-level category breakdown, so it does not establish which media, formats, editions or subjects are most common at auction. Prints should be recorded as editions only when an edition statement is visible or documented, and unique works should not be grouped with multiples without verification.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's current input links Wolfgang Hutter to 226 indexed records, but the collected source pack does not include individual lot results and therefore cannot support a price trend or forecast. An appraisal should first classify the object as a painting, drawing, print or another graphic work. Technique, dimensions, date, inscriptions, condition, provenance and attribution should then be documented from the object and its records. For prints, edition information should be verified rather than assumed. Comparisons are most useful when they align in medium, scale, date, subject and sale context. Hutter's garden and fantasy imagery may assist cataloguing, but imagery alone cannot authenticate authorship. Any realized price should be considered together with its auction house, currency, sale date and lot particulars.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with indexed auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices and comparable lots. For this profile, authority-based identity evidence is stronger than the collected lot-level market evidence.
