Hi Zoltan,

I'd never heard of him until now and I can't seem to find anything by way of auction results, but that doesn't say much. I did find one site that mentioned that a lot of his works were destroyed in Poland during WW2, and also that he seems to have acquired cult following.

Any value would also depend upon the piece in question .. do you own one?

I have 43 original photographs from his lost sculptures.
I contact with Szukalski archive owner(Glen Bray)and he told me ,they have have the same photos(120).But he also told me ,my  photos are  very special because signed and tilted by Szukalski.It was he's personal collection.
He offer me $500 and he told me he will sell the photos on E-bay ;D ;D.
After this I stopped contact with him.

Always talk to more that one person for values on any antique be it photo`s or whatever !!  Never just rely on one estimate !!  They are often wrong !!  Like I said on your other post, you can always frame them and sell them yourself on ebay !!  Ebay fees are reasonable !!

Yes I will frame them.This is the best thing to do.But I'm not rushing to sell them.Maybe I am too optimistic but these photos are  part of the world and Polish history of art.I believe this collection has big value.
