The work Czech Reclining Figure (Figura V Krajině - LeÍcí) by František Muzika was sold in the Czech Avant-Garde Art from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection auction at Sothebys in London in November 2014. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,500.58), 46% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by František Muzika achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Marécage V (Sumpf V) in December 2019 with an auction result of EUR 137,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen
