According to the organizers, the collection of graphics by Bohumil Reynek, which the collectors valued at almost three million crowns, also aroused great interest among those interested. The most expensive graphic artist in this collection was awarded to the auctioneer, who paid 545,600 crowns for Pietová u studně from 1949, which is a new author’s record for this artist. The Alej oil in Luhačovice by Antonín Slavíček from 1898, which he sold for 7.8 million crowns, also recorded a significant price increase.
