## About Yuri Gorbachev

Yuri Gorbachev is a Russian artist born in 1948. VIAF and its linked authority records identify him as a painter, ceramicist, and sculptor, while Wikidata and Wikipedia corroborate his identity as a Russian painter and sculptor. Library authority data also records alternate transliterations of his name, including Jurij Gorbačov, which can help distinguish matching catalogue and auction records. The collected evidence does not establish a specific movement, school, recurring subject, named series, or detailed career chronology, so those labels should not be added without stronger documentation. For collectors, the clearest entity-matching signals are his name, birth year, nationality, and stable VIAF and Wikidata identifiers. Works attributed to him may appear in more than one object category, making it important to distinguish paintings, ceramics, and sculpture when reviewing appraisal or auction information.

## Common works and media

The usable authority record associates Gorbachev with painting, ceramics, and sculpture. Objects submitted for appraisal may therefore be catalogued in any of those work types. The collected sources do not document particular materials, techniques, subjects, editions, named series, or the relative frequency of each category, so those details should be established from the individual object and stronger catalogue or auction evidence.

## Market and appraisal context

For appraisal purposes, first determine whether the object is a painting, ceramic work, or sculpture, since VIAF identifies Gorbachev with all three practices. Comparables should be selected within the same work type, using public auction records, sale dates, realized prices, and closely matched lots when those records are available. The present source pack does not expose record-level results or a major-auction-house market overview, so it cannot support a price trend, relative ranking, or category-specific premium. Any valuation should remain tied to the particular object and to verifiable comparable sales rather than a general claim about the artist's market.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This source pack supports identity and work-type matching more strongly than record-level market conclusions.
