Is an original Gerzso of value?

Question

This is one of my favorites-black paint on paper.I have it in the frame I got it in.I recently was told it's valuable, in which case I will make haste to to reframe it in conservation materials(which I plan to do anyway, just not ASAP).Anyone familiar with the artist?
