AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Thanks to the open-mindedness of the Experts on this platform, I have the opportunity to showcase "niche" artists who rarely come to auction and hardly ever in European sales. Kahn is one of them. The work I propose, titled Man reading, is an oil on canvas mounted on panel and comes from a prestigious Israeli auction house, whose label is on the back of the work. Of Jewish heritage, he spent a large part of his artistic career in France, a friend of André Derain but with the star of Cézanne that impressed him and strongly shaped him. In 1950 he was invited, quite notably, to the Venice Biennale, and his works are in very prestigious museums. Among them, since 2001, the Museum of the Holocaust in Los Angeles. He has important auction records which in the 1990s exceeded $20,000. I propose it without a reserve price, entrusting its value to those who frequent Catawiki.
