## About Yoel Benharrouche

Yoel Benharrouche, also catalogued as Yoël Benharrouche, is an Israeli painter born in 1961. VIAF brings together authority records from the National Library of Israel, France’s Sudoc network, ISNI, Getty ULAN, and Wikidata, helping distinguish this artist across accented, inverted, and Hebrew name forms. The aggregated chronology connects him with France, Villa Arson in Nice in 1986–1987, teaching drawing in secondary education from 1992 to 1994, and living in Israel in 1995. The same authority record notes a 2014 dispersal at the Hôtel des Ventes de Saint-Dié. The collected source pack does not establish a named movement, recurring subject, formal series, or detailed painting media, so those points should remain open rather than inferred from auction listings. Collectors currently encounter Benharrouche chiefly through painting and auction-record contexts, while stronger museum, gallery, or artist-source documentation is still needed for a fuller account of his style and career.

## Common works and media

Painting is the only work type established by the collected authority evidence. VIAF identifies Benharrouche as a painter, but the source pack does not document whether his auction record is concentrated in oil, acrylic, works on paper, prints, sculpture, ceramics, editions, posters, or any named series. Appraisily should therefore describe common works at the broad paintings level unless individual lot records or stronger artist documentation provide a specific medium, support, or object type.

## Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports identity matching and painting as a broad category, but it is not sufficient to describe price patterns or a hierarchy of subjects, formats, or periods. Appraisal should first confirm that a record belongs to the same Yoel or Yoël Benharrouche, since authority files use accented, inverted, and Hebrew name forms. Relevant public auction records can then be assessed through sale dates, realized prices, auction-house context, and comparable lots when those details are available. The 2014 Saint-Dié dispersal noted in VIAF is a historical market signal, not by itself a valuation benchmark. No prediction about demand, scarcity, or value is justified from this source pack alone; a work-specific opinion requires stronger object and transaction evidence.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with Appraisily auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. This profile’s identity basis is strongest in VIAF and linked authority records; its detailed market evidence remains limited.
