Czech Art

S otheby’s is the only international auction house to have presented three highly successful single‑owner sales dedicated to Czech modern art. Landmark offerings include works from the Milan Heidenreich Collection in 1997 and 1998, the record‑breaking Hascoe Family Collection of Modern Czech Art in 2011, and Czech Avant‑Garde Art from the Collection of Roy and Mary Cullen in 2014. Czech works continue to be featured regularly within Sotheby’s European Paintings auctions and in our annual 20th Century Art – A Different Perspective sales, where they attract strong international interest.

Sotheby’s has achieved world‑record prices for leading Czech artists, including Kupka, Čapek, Filla, Foltýn, Kubista, Zrzavý, Gutfreund, and Špála, among others. These results reflect sustained global demand for Czech modernism and our commitment to presenting the finest examples of Central European art on the international stage.
