## About Robert Kasimir

Robert Kasimir, also represented in authority data as Raoul Kasimir, was an Austrian etcher, painter and graphic artist who lived from 1914 to 2002. Wikidata identifies him under the public name Robert Kasimir, while VIAF links that identity to library records using both Robert and Raoul. This naming variation is important because collectors, cataloguers and researchers may encounter works under either form. The available institutional authority data establishes his nationality and activity across etching, painting and graphic art, but it does not identify a movement, recurring subject, named series or detailed career chronology. His work may therefore appear in auction and appraisal settings within several broad categories rather than under a single documented school. Careful identity matching is especially useful because the Kasimir surname is also associated with other artists, and the collected authority record notes familial connections without defining them fully.

## Common works and media

Authority records describe Kasimir as an etcher, painter and graphic artist. Works presented for research or appraisal may consequently be catalogued as etchings, paintings or other graphic works. The collected source pack does not establish typical subjects, techniques beyond etching, edition sizes, named portfolios or recurring series, so those details should be verified from the individual object and its documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

For appraisal purposes, the first step is confirming that a work belongs to the artist represented in authority files as Robert or Raoul Kasimir, rather than to another artist sharing the surname. The collected sources support etching, painting and graphic art as relevant work types, but they do not provide enough public detail to describe editions, subjects, periods or price patterns. A market analysis should therefore compare like with like and examine the work's medium, dimensions, date, signature or inscriptions, condition, provenance and any edition information. Conclusions about value should be tied to documented comparable public sales rather than inferred from the artist name alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices and comparable lots when those records are available. For Robert Kasimir, the current identity basis is stronger than the collected market detail, so object-level and comparable-sale evidence remains essential.
