The painting Old Prague Motif by Bohumil Kubišta was sold for CZK 123.6 million in Prague on Sunday, for a record at a Czech art auction. The work dating from 1911 had a starting price of CZK 25 million, which itself would have been a record for a work by Kubišta.

The previous Czech auction record was CZK 90.4 million, for Divertimento II by František Kupka in 2020.
