Auction day 70

On May 19, 2013, a successful joint auction day of the KODL Gallery and the Vltavín Auction House took place in Prague's Žofín, during which a number of new auction records were set. We list the prices without the auction surcharge, i.e. on the hammer.

A great success is the record sale of a painting by Theodor Pištěk, who was personally present and was rewarded with applause in the hall after the auction of the item. His canvas Visiting the Harrachs reached a price of CZK 2,700,000, which is the most expensive auctioned painting by a living Czech painter. At CZK 5,000,000, Medko's monumental work became the most expensive painting of Czech post-war art and historically the highest auctioned work by this author. Brožík's Black Strawberries also broke the painter's previous absolute record with CZK 2,100,000. The most expensive item of the entire auction is the Roots of Jindřich Štyrský with CZK 9,000,000. The total price achieved copied the total starting price, approx. CZK 65,000,000, and the sales success rate was around 70%.
