Oskar Kokoschka. The Bound Columbus / The Consciousness of Faces (Sequel to “The Dreaming Boys”). Typescript with handwritten corrections, markings in ink, and red pencil. Circa 1907. Seven pages. In a later half-maroquin binding with dark green buckram covers and a red-and-gold cover label. Call time: approx. 1:40 p.m. (schedule subject to change) A typescript of significant editorial historical importance, as the text, written by Kokoschka in 1907, was initially intended as a sequel to his debut work, published in 1908. The handwritten main title “Das Bewußtsein der Gesichte” was later crossed out by Kokoschka and replaced below it with “Der gefesselte Columbus.” - Each page contains numerous spelling corrections and amendments, insertions, deletions, etc. Divided into twelve sections with red wax crayon. The text was first published in Paul Westheim’s *Kunstblatt* (1918, Issue 12, pp. 367–370), still under the title “Sequel to *The Dreaming Boys*.” In 1920, it was reprinted under the title “Der weiße Tiertöter” in the small collection of poetry and prose of the same name as Issue III/10 of the series “Die Gefährten” and in Fritz Gurlitt’s “Almanach auf das Jahr 1920.” Supplemented by twelve lithographs based on earlier sketches, Fritz Gurlitt finally published the text as a bibliophile edition in the series “Die Neuen Bilderbücher” (1921). Contents: Seven sheets with typescript and corrections, mounted on Japanese paper. - Pre-bound: ten sheets, six of which are blank; the remaining sheets include the original cover of the catalog for Auction 162 of Dr. Ernst Hauswedell, Hamburg, November 23, 1968, the catalog description (Lot 1893: “typewritten manuscript”), a letter from Ernst Hauswedell (“Kokoschka’s manuscript certainly dates from around 1907”) to the gallery owner Wolfgang Fischer, London, and Oskar Kokoschka’s handwritten dedication to that very buyer: “For my dear poet Wolfgang, who found my manuscript—an honor for me. Yours, O Kokoschka || March 14, 1969.” - Wolfgang Fischer (1933–2021) worked in the 1960s at his father’s London gallery, Marlborough Fine Art; in 1972, he opened Fischer Fine Art. Both galleries represented Oskar Kokoschka, among others. - After purchasing the work at the Hamburg auction, Wolfgang Fischer had the seven sheets restored and bound together with the auction documents and Kokoschka’s dedication. Provenance: Acquired from the estate of Wolfgang Fischer. See Raabe/Hannich-Bode 166.7–8. — See Schweiger, *Der junge Kokoschka*, pp. 88ff. 29.0 × 22.0 cm.
