Sotheby’s to auction Czech avant-garde art

Czech avant-garde art from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection will be auctioned at Sotheby’s in London during November. The art collection includes paintings by Toyen, Karel Teige and Jindřich Štyrský, which were created in the interwar period. The auction is expected to fetch around 1.7 million Euros (roughly 60 million crowns). Highlights from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection will be exhibited in Prague at the end of October. A previous auction of Czech avant-garde and modern art at Sotheby’s in 2011 resulted in a record price of 11.1 million pounds, twice as much than the auction house had estimated.
