Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Die Träumenden Knaben (The Dreaming Youths) by Oskar Kokoschka was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in June 2021. The price achieved of GBP 10,200.00 (€ 11,885.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Oskar Kokoschka achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Joseph De Montesquiou-Fezensac in November 2018 with an auction result of USD 20,395,200.00 (€ 18,012,187.58).

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Oskar Kokoschka erzielen.
