The work Czech verticals by Mikuláš Medek was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2017. It achieved a price of GBP 42,500.00 (€ 48,243.82), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 42%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mikuláš Medek achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sorrow of the IVth Inquisitor in October last year with an auction result of GBP 731,100.00 (€ 851,723.40).
