Not sure what a work might be worth? My guide to valuing Nowosielski (in Polish) explains what decides the price, how to read an edition number and what has actually been paid at auction.

Icons and religious compositions, with his characteristic geometry and colour.
Nudes and figures
Cycles of nudes and female figures, in which Nowosielski joined the icon with eroticism.

Sketches, studies, ink drawings, lithographs and screenprints.
Any condition
Including works in need of conservation.
Jerzy Nowosielski
1923–2011He was born on 7 January 1923 in Kraków. In 1940 he studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Kraków under Stanisław Kamocki, and in 1942–1943 icon painting at the Lavra of St John the Baptist in Uniów. After the war he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków under Eugeniusz Eibisch and was assistant to Tadeusz Kantor.
He painted religious works, nudes, landscapes and abstractions, as well as church murals, among them in Wesoła, in the lower church of St John Climacus in Warsaw, in Kętrzyn and in the Orthodox church in Hajnówka. He taught in Łódź from 1957 and was a professor at the Kraków Academy from 1976.
His honours include the Grand Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta (1998) and an honorary doctorate from the Jagiellonian University (2000). He died in Kraków on 21 February 2011.
