PAVEL JANAK (1882–1956) A Cubist Chair Starting price: 75 000 CZK (2 830 EUR) Hammer price: 160 000 CZK (6 038 EUR) Description dimensions: 99 x 51 x 24 cm (h x w x d) period: 1911-12, Bohemia, Prague This chair with a triangular backrest dates to the artist's early Cubist stage, when he designed the furnishings for the home of Dr. J. Borovička. The non-upholstered chair designed for said interior is slightly more dynamic in the arrangement of its curved forms, but the auction item is similar in structure, with the addition of black stripes that emphasize its Cubist form. Another comparison can be made with a chair from 1912 with an identical seat - see the 1999 exhibition catalogue from the National Gallery, Český Kubismus 1909-1925, p. 270. Oak, blackened wood, original upholstery.
