Historically the most successful auction in the Czech Republic.

Today's auction day of the KODL Gallery set a historical record when more than 200 works of art were sold for a total of 250 million CZK. The most expensive auctioned painting was Twilight in the Forest by the painter Toyen for CZK 30,000,000. The current record is held by the same auction house from last year, when it recorded sales of over 142 million CZK.

The original starting amount of 140 million CZK was increased to a quarter of a billion, which is a new maximum in the auction history in the Czech Republic. "This is good news for Czech visual arts, because the paintings are fetching decent prices. Interest in fine art is increasing, this is evidenced by the fact that in the last 25 years no auction has exceeded the hundred million mark, while in the last three years we have reached an amount exceeding two hundred million", says Martin Kodl, the owner of the auction house.

Hundreds of visitors present in the hall and dozens of other interested parties on the telephone lines created an excellent and often dramatic atmosphere. Some works were fought for so passionately that they were deservedly rewarded with enthusiastic applause, which started with the first item of the Ecce homo graphic by Theodor Pištěk, which rose from the initial 60,000 to 240,000 CZK.
