KODL Gallery presented 225 extraordinary works of art in its 91st auction collection. A total of 97 % of the lots were sold.&nbsp;
The most expensive work was Emil Filla's figurative painting called <a href="https://www.artslimit.com/cs/item/4344-dvojice-emil-filla">Couple</a> from 1934, which is so&nbsp;also the most expensive interwar painting by this artist sold. This&nbsp;large-format surrealist oil, which comes from the collection of Dr. Jaroslav Borovička, was&nbsp;auctioned for CZK 25.2 million (the starting price was CZK 13,000,000).
The second most expensive painting auctioned for CZK 22.8 million was the canvas <a href="https://www.artslimit.com/en/item/4325-va-et-vient-toyen">Toyen Va et vient</a> from her post-war Parisian period. The work came to Prague from the French&nbsp;family collection, for which it was purchased directly from the artist upon completion. This&nbsp;intimate but impressive painting has so far remained a secret from the public (the hammer price was&nbsp;7 000 000 CZK).
