In December 2015 Sothebys in London held the auction 20th Century Art – A Different Perspective, which included the work Czech three Events by Mikuláš Medek. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 161,000.00 (€ 218,630.26), 34% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mikuláš Medek - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sorrow of the IVth Inquisitor, which sold at auction in October last year for GBP 731,100.00 (€ 851,723.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2015 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 20th Century Art – A Different Perspective durch, in der auch die Arbeit Czech three Events von Mikuláš Medek zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 161.000,00 (€ 218.630,26) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Mikuláš Medek mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sorrow of the IVth Inquisitor beobachtet, die im Oktober letzten Jahres für GBP 731.100,00 (€ 851.723,40) versteigert wurde.
