Great success of the auction of Grażyna Kulczyk's collection

PLN 37.4 million – such was the turnover of the five auctions of nearly 200 works from the Grażyna Kulczyk collection at DESA Unicum, becoming the most expensive auction of the collection and setting a record turnover in the history of the Polish art market. A spectacular result was achieved by Tadeusz Kantor's work 'One night the Infanta Valezquez entered my room', which sold for over PLN 5 million, and 'SU 2' by Wojciech Fangor, which found a buyer for PLN 3 million. 

"This not insignificant event in the Polish art market attracted many collectors and investors from Poland and abroad, including Germany, Hungary, and Lithuania, who noted the very high level of the offer and the exceptional courage of the collector. The success of the auction of works from the Grażyna Kulczyk Collection confirms the great interest that contemporary and recent art has enjoyed for years, and also draws attention to the great importance of collections in building the art market. We are all the more pleased that the collector, with whom we have had the honor of working, plans to develop her passion for art and now focus exclusively on women's art,” Agata Szkup, CEO of DESA Unicum, said.
