## About Yves Laloy

Yves Laloy (1920–1999) was a French architect and painter associated in the collected biographical sources with Surrealism. He was born in Rennes and died in Cancale. Wikidata and a network of international authority records identify him consistently, helping distinguish the artist from people with similar names and supporting reliable catalogue matching. His dual professional identity is relevant because references to Laloy may arise in either architectural or visual-art contexts. Collectors encounter his name through auction records associated with his work as a painter, but the available source pack is considerably stronger on identity and chronology than on individual objects. It does not document recurring subjects, named series, exhibitions, or a detailed range of techniques. Objects attributed to Laloy should therefore be assessed from their specific cataloguing and documentary evidence rather than from broad assumptions about his body of work.

## Common works and media

Public identity sources establish Laloy as a painter, and the collected French-language biographical sources associate his painting with Surrealism. Paintings are therefore the only work type supported by this source pack for discussion in an auction or appraisal context. The pack does not establish recurring subjects, named series, drawings, print editions, sculptures, ceramics, or posters. Listings in those categories should be verified independently rather than inferred from this profile.

## Market and appraisal context

The collected material confirms Yves Laloy's identity and indicates that auction records are associated with his artist page, but it does not contain lot-level descriptions, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or a medium breakdown. An appraisal should first establish that the attribution concerns the French painter and architect born in 1920 and then compare the object with securely catalogued examples. Relevant public auction records should be reviewed at lot level, including the auction house's attribution language, sale date, medium, dimensions, and available documentation. This profile does not provide enough market evidence to support a price forecast, scarcity claim, or market-trend conclusion.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. This source pack supports Laloy's identity more strongly than detailed market analysis.
