Auction day 77

Dear friends, collectors and art lovers, we sincerely thank you for the opportunity to organize the historically most successful auction in the Czech Republic, at which an unusually large number of 24 author's records fell, and which just now ended at Prague's Žofín.

With a total turnover of almost 170 million CZK, it became the largest and most important auction not only this year, but also in the entire modern history of the Czech Republic.

The crowded Great Hall in Žofín witnessed many long and difficult fights. More than 500 visitors present in the hall and dozens of other interested parties on fixed and telephone lines created an excellent, unrepeatable atmosphere. The most expensive painting in the auction was the large-format and rediscovered Studio of Josef Šíma, belonging to the period of his metaphysical painting of the first half of the 1930s. It is thus the most expensive Simu auctioned here and in the world, which ended up at almost 29 million CZK.
