From the Rudolfine engravings of Aegidius Sadeler to the existential depth of Jiří Anderle and the European Art Informel of Jean Fautrier
We invite you to take part in an exceptional auction of graphic art that bridges deep tradition with modern expression. The sale features a curated selection of works by renowned European engravers, classical masters, and powerful voices of the 20th century – a collection that will appeal to both seasoned collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
A highlight of the auction is the engraving Rocky Landscape from the cycle Views of Landscapes and Rivers in Bohemia by Aegidius II Sadeler, court engraver of Rudolfine Prague. In this work, Baroque precision resonates with the poetic qualities of the Central European landscape.
The modern section is opened by Jiří Anderle's Franz Kafka and the Protocol, a graphic reflection on the existential condition of man and one of the artist’s most striking pieces. Equally powerful is Le Prophète by Jean Fautrier, a key figure of European Art Informel.
Slovak art is strongly represented through the expressive print Window by Jozef Jankovič, while the spiritual and mystical dimension of Czech graphic art culminates in Josef Váchal’s The Harp, a compelling example of the artist’s signature imagination.
We believe this auction will captivate collectors of classical printmaking as well as admirers of modern and post-war approaches. Each piece has been carefully selected for its quality, artistic strength, and collector’s value.
