This artwork by Milan Kunc achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in November 2017. In the 20th Century Art – A Different Perspective auction, the work Czech clowns sold for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,804.15) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Milan Kunc - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Psychedelic Afternoon, which sold at auction in December 2019 for USD 27,500.00 (€ 24,494.52).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
