Mauricio Leib Lasansky

Mauricio Leib Lasansky (1914–2012) was an Argentine-born American printmaker, graphic artist, and educator closely associated with the development of modern printmaking in the United States. He became known for technically ambitious intaglio work and for his influential teaching at the University of Iowa, where he established its printmaking program. His recorded output includes prints spanning several decades as well as The Nazi Drawings, a group of 33 pencil drawings created during the 1960s. A published catalogue covering prints made from 1933 through 1973 provides an important reference point for identifying and contextualizing works attributed to him. Collectors may encounter Lasansky through individual intaglio impressions, other graphic works, works on paper, and material associated with his best-known drawing series. Museum and international library-authority profiles reinforce his identity as both an Argentine and American artist whose career joined studio practice with printmaking education.

Common works and media

Collectors most commonly encounter Lasansky through intaglio prints and other graphic works. His documented practice also includes pencil drawings, most notably the 33-sheet series The Nazi Drawings from the 1960s. A print catalogue covering 1933–1973 can help place many impressions within his recorded production. Because the available sources do not enumerate every technique, edition, or subject, individual works should be described from direct examination and compared with catalogued examples and closely related public sales.

Market and appraisal context

Lasansky’s market should be approached by first distinguishing an intaglio print from a unique drawing or other work on paper. For prints, a match to the published catalogue covering 1933–1973 can provide useful identification context. A documented connection to The Nazi Drawings may also materially change how a work is classified and compared. Appraisal still requires object-level evidence: technique, dimensions, paper, signature, edition or state information, condition, provenance, and the strength of attribution should be examined rather than assumed. Public auction records are most useful when the comparable lots closely match the work’s medium, period, subject or series, scale, and condition. The collected source pack does not support a general price trend or prediction.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Intaglio prints and other graphic works
  • Pencil drawings and other works on paper

Value drivers

  1. Medium and technique, including whether the object is an intaglio print or a unique pencil drawing
  2. Documented relationship to The Nazi Drawings series
  3. Match to the published catalogue of Lasansky prints from 1933–1973
  4. Comparable public auction records for closely related Lasansky works

Appraisal caveats

  • Artist-name matching alone does not establish authorship, authenticity, condition, or value.
  • Edition, state, signature, paper, provenance, dimensions, and condition require object-level examination before appraisal conclusions are drawn.
  • Public auction results should be compared by medium, technique, date, subject or series, dimensions, and condition rather than treated as interchangeable price points.
