Selbstbildnis, Kopf (recto); Porträt Hans Massmann (verso)
Auction Estimate: 700,000 - 1,000,000 British pounds.

The Neue Galerie in New York is selling eight works on paper by Egon Schiele, to help finance the acquisition of its very expensive crown jewel. The pieces go on the block at Christie's London on February 4th and are expected to fetch more than £7.6 million ($14.9 million).
The gallery still have more than 140 additional Shiele works in their collection.

Do you collect works on paper but not afford those auction prices? A great way to get affordable artworks and begin a collection is buy from artists studios.
