Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Czech Happiness - The Feeling Increasing And Softening In Bright Blue (Štěstí - Pocit Vzrůstající A Zjemňující Se A Do Světlé Modré) by Aloïs Bilek was sold in the Czech Avant-Garde Art from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection auction at Sothebys in London in November 2014. The auction ended at the price of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,885.91), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Aloïs Bilek - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Baigneuses, which sold at auction in June last year for EUR 6,560.00.

Die Arbeit Czech Happiness - The Feeling Increasing And Softening In Bright Blue (Štěstí - Pocit Vzrůstající A Zjemňující Se A Do Světlé Modré) von Aloïs Bilek wurde im November 2014 in der Auktion Czech Avant-Garde Art from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.885,91) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Aloïs Bilek mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Baigneuses beobachtet, die im Juni letzten Jahres für EUR 6.560,00 versteigert wurde.
