## About Yohanan Simon

Yohanan Simon (1905–1976) is identified by Getty ULAN and Wikidata as an Israeli artist, with Getty specifying his occupation as painter. Getty’s authority record supplies several alternate name forms, including Johanan Simon, Simon, Johanan, and Simon, Hans-Yohanan, which can matter when matching catalogues and auction records. The collected evidence is strongest for his identity, life years, nationality, and occupation. It does not establish a movement, school, training history, characteristic subjects, or named series at a level suitable for confident publication. Collectors may therefore encounter his work through different transliterations or catalogue conventions, but those name variants should be reconciled against the same authority identity before comparing records. Appraisily treats Simon as a documented twentieth-century Israeli painter while reserving broader stylistic or biographical claims until stronger museum, scholarly, estate, or catalogue evidence is available.

## Common works and media

The usable authority evidence identifies Simon as a painter, so paintings are the only work type this profile can currently describe with confidence. The source pack does not establish recurring subjects, specific techniques, print editions, drawings, sculpture, ceramics, posters, named series, or period distinctions. Auction records carrying alternate spellings should be matched to the Getty authority identity before being grouped. Individual lots require their own catalogue descriptions and documentation; this research does not infer medium, support, date, dimensions, condition, or authenticity from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Works attributed to Yohanan Simon appear in Appraisily’s auction inventory, but the collected public sources do not provide usable lot-level descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, provenance, condition, or edition details. This profile therefore makes no claim about price trends or a typical value range. A responsible comparison should begin by confirming that the catalogue name maps to the same authority identity, including documented spelling and transliteration variants. The individual object should then be assessed against relevant public auction records and supporting documentation when those materials are available. Conclusions about value should come from the specific work and comparable lots, not from the artist name or the number of indexed records alone.

## 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; unavailable fields are not inferred.
