The auction will be held during the charity SVOBODA & WILLIAMS CUP, which will take place on Saturday, November 23rd, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Řepy Sports Center and whose proceeds the Accolade, CBRE, Colliers International, CPI Property Group, CTP, Cushman & Wakefield, iO Partners, FTMO, Savills CZ, Trigema, and Svoboda & Williams teams and the money raised by the raffle will support, as usual, the Tereza Maxová Foundation for Children. However, in order to contribute even more money to at-risk children on this tenth anniversary of our tournament, we decided to donate the profits from this auction to the Foundation as well. The subject of the auction will be two prints by the painter and sculptor František Mertl (*1930, Třebíč) entitled First Steps and Chevalier. The artist, known worldwide under his artistic pseudonym FRANTA, has lived and worked in France since his emigration in 1958 and is one of most important representatives of the New Figuration movement. Next year, the National Gallery will mount a major retrospective exhibit of his work in Prague Castle’s Riding School. Two signed jerseys from Prague’s age-old rival teams, the “Ss,” will also be auctioned. In the auction derby, AC Sparta Praha will offer its away jersey from the 2023/2024 season signed by its A team, while SK Slavia Praha has submitted Christos Zafeiris’ signed jersey from the Europa League game between SK Slavia Praha and AFC Ajax Amsterdam held on October 3rd, 2024, in Prague.
