About Luigi Kasimir

Luigi Kasimir (1881–1962), born Alois Heinrich Kasimir in Ptuj, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and now in Slovenia, was an Austrian etcher, painter, lithographer, and printmaker. He trained and worked primarily in Vienna, where he spent most of his career and died in August 1962. Kasimir is recognized internationally for his color etchings of European landscapes, city panoramas, and architectural subjects. His technical command of multi-plate color etching gave his prints a distinctive tonal richness that attracted collectors across Europe and North America. With more than two thousand lots recorded at auction, Kasimir's graphic output is among the most widely encountered of twentieth-century Austrian printmakers. He is documented in the Library of Congress Name Authority File, VIAF, the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History, and Wikidata.

Common works and media

The most commonly encountered Kasimir works are color etchings and aquatints depicting European city views, particularly Vienna, Rome, Venice, Paris, and New York. Alpine and pastoral landscapes also appear regularly. Oils and watercolors by Kasimir exist but are far less frequent at auction than his prints. Lithographs and smaller-format black-and-white etchings round out the typical auction offerings. Edition sizes and numbering practices vary, so individual impression details matter for appraisal purposes.

Market and appraisal context

Luigi Kasimir's works appear frequently at auction, with over 2,400 recorded lots spanning etchings, paintings, and lithographs. His multi-plate color etchings of European cityscapes and alpine landscapes are the most sought-after category. Value depends on the print medium, plate dimensions, subject (Vienna, Italian, or New York scenes tend to attract stronger interest), edition details, and condition. Because his output was prolific, prices per work remain moderate compared to less widely available printmakers. Collectors should verify attribution carefully, as unsigned or poorly documented prints are common in the secondary market. Provenance from the 1933–1945 period warrants additional scrutiny.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Old Master & Modern Prints
  • 19th/20th Century European Art

Value drivers

  1. Medium: Kasimir is best known for multi-plate color etchings; these typically command stronger prices than his lithographs or paintings.
  2. Subject matter: European city views, Austrian and Italian landscapes, and panoramic architectural scenes are his most commonly encountered works.
  3. Attribution and authenticity: Many Kasimir prints circulate without full documentation; condition, plate size, and edition marks affect value.
  4. High volume of works: With over 2,400 auction records tracked, the artist's market is broad and accessible, which can moderate per-lot prices.

Appraisal caveats

  • No catalogue raisonné or authenticated edition inventory was found in the source pack; attribution should be confirmed by a specialist when possible.
  • The source pack contains no realized-price data or auction-house lot records; specific valuation guidance requires consulting live auction databases.
  • Kasimir was an early member of the Nazi party and stood trial after World War II (Wikipedia); provenance from the 1933–1945 period may require additional due diligence.
