Artist Background

Kamil Kubic is known for his urban landscapes and cityscape paintings, often depicting well-known landmarks with vibrant color and impressionistic brushwork. His works have been collected and sold in galleries, particularly those focused on cityscape and architectural themes. Many of his paintings feature iconic locations such as New York, Chicago, and other metropolitan areas.

Original vs. Reproduction Analysis

To determine whether this piece is an original or a reproduction, consider the following:

  1. Surface Texture: An original painting will have visible brushstrokes, raised paint areas, and slight inconsistencies in application. If the surface is completely flat, it might be a print.
  2. Signature: Originals often have a hand-signed signature, sometimes with varied pressure in the strokes. Prints may have a printed signature or a plate-signed signature.
  3. Material Inspection: A professional appraiser can check whether the artwork is an oil or pastel on paper or a high-quality giclée print.
  4. Numbering: If it’s a limited-edition print, there may be a fraction (e.g., 5/100) indicating the edition.

Based on the images, it appears to be a high-quality print or reproduction, but a hands-on examination would be necessary to confirm.

Valuation Estimates

If Original

  • $500 - $2,000+ depending on the uniqueness and demand for Kamil Kubic’s work.
  • If authenticated, an original cityscape by Kubic in excellent condition may fetch a premium price.

If Limited Edition Print

  • $100 - $400, with value dependent on the edition size and demand.
  • Signed, numbered, and well-framed prints hold more value than open editions.

If Open Edition Print

  • $50 - $150, depending on the framing quality and demand.

Marketability

  • Collectors of cityscapes and hotel or landmark-themed art would be the ideal buyers.
  • Online marketplaces such as eBay, Etsy, and auction houses specializing in modern cityscape prints are good places to sell.

Recommendation

If you want to confirm whether this is an original or print, consider:

  • Consulting a professional appraiser (local fine art gallery or online authentication service).
  • UV light testing (to see if paint is layered, indicating an original).
  • Checking auction results for similar works by Kamil Kubic.
