This artwork by Antonín Procházka achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in June 2011. In the The Hascoe Family Collection: Important Czech Art auction, the work Czech by The Window (U Okna) sold for GBP 20,000.00 (€ 22,126.28) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Antonín Procházka - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Czech still Life (Zátiší), which sold at auction in June 2011 for GBP 79,250.00 (€ 87,675.39).
