A top price for Zdenék Sklenár
When the work Picture on the Palette by Zdenék Sklenár was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 9,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 56,700.00 (€ 48,284.08). This high result makes Picture on the Palette the most expensive artwork by Zdenék Sklenár that we have observed at auctions so far.

Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 9.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 56.700,00 (€ 48.284,08) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Picture on the Palette zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Zdenék Sklenár, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
