## About Yusof Ghani

Yusof Ghani, born in 1950, is a Malaysian painter and sculptor whose practice also has been described as encompassing writing, teaching and curatorial work. Public summaries associate his work with an Abstract Expressionist approach interpreted through Southeast Asian motifs. Painting and drawing are central to this account of his practice, while sculptural, collage and mixed-media elements broaden its visual language. His career is presented through multiple bodies of work developed over several decades rather than through a single medium or narrowly defined subject. Collectors may therefore encounter his name attached to paintings, works on paper, prints, sculptures and mixed-media compositions. Authority records maintained through Wikidata and VIAF support the core identity match, including his 1950 birth year and Malaysian nationality. More detailed statements about his artistic development and individual series would benefit from museum, university, official-site or scholarly catalogue documentation beyond the currently collected source pack.

## Common works and media

Auction and appraisal records may include paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed-media compositions, decorative objects and editions attributed to Yusof Ghani. Available biographical context also describes a practice combining painting and drawing with sculptural and collage elements. Each work should be classified from its actual materials, dimensions, date, inscriptions and edition information rather than from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin with comparable Yusof Ghani works that align in medium, dimensions, date, subject and type. Condition and restoration history, the quality of the surface, signature or inscription evidence, edition information and attribution confidence can all affect how a lot compares with other public results. Provenance, exhibition history and catalogue references also may strengthen the documentation attached to a work. Appraisily's matched records cover paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art and editions, but category labels should be checked against each underlying lot. Public results do not capture every private transaction, and reported prices may use different fee conventions. Authentication and a direct physical inspection remain separate from database comparison.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched identity records with matched public auction data, auction-house context, sale dates, reported realized prices and comparable lots when those records are available. The evidence is a starting point for appraisal and may not include private sales, incomplete feeds or later attribution changes.
