I, the late Johannes Van Hoytl, am gratified to hear that my most celebrated work, Boy with Apple appears in the Thrillist feature ‘The 100 Greatest Props in Movie History’.
The painting was commissioned by Wes Anderson for his Oscar and Grammy winning film ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’. It sits at number 91, somewhere in between Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates and the dentist’s drill from Marathon Man.
