QuoteUpon a detailed examination of the collection, we realized that we were encountering an absolutely unique collection in the world. In fact, it is also the largest commercially available collection.

You inevitably develop a personal connection to Alphonse Mucha’s works.
His art is filled with both apparent and concealed symbols. The more you know what and where to search, the more you find. After all, Mucha was a Freemason who achieved the highest Masonic rank in the former Czechoslovakia.

It is the only collection in the world that is both complete and commercially available
because Ivan Lendl’s goal was to have all 121 cataloged posters created by Mucha. The collection contains 119 of them because one could not be found and the other was not for sale.
This was followed by an eleven-year effort by Richard Fuxa, who significantly expanded the collection. This increased its investment potential, as the only similarly comprehensive collection is owned by the Mucha Foundation, and is not for sale.
Jakub Čejka
CMO & Partner
We value Mucha’s uniqueness as an artist and believe in the investment potential of his works.
We intend to hold exhibitions to enhance Mucha’s worldwide reputation, which should also positively impact the collection’s value. There is interest from foreign entities in organizing exhibitions, and we have already begun negotiations with some of them. Additionally, we want to try to acquire more of Mucha’s works for the Portu Gallery in the future, not only his artistic pieces but also other artifacts such as banknote or stamp designs.

Co-owner of the collection
It is one of the most comprehensive collections of Alphonse Mucha’s works.
When the famous, now-retired Czech tennis player Ivan Lendl started it, his curator and advisor was Jiří Mucha, the painter’s son. Richard Fuxa bought the collection from Ivan Lendl, spent ten years expanding it, and tripled its size.
Every investment carries some volatility. However, blue-chip art has seen fewer downturns. In my opinion, Alfons Mucha is still underrated compared to his contemporaries. The Slav Epic attracted 700,000 visitors in Japan.
Jan Sýkora
Co-owner of the collection
Alphonse Mucha’s art collection holds significant cultural value and an intriguing investment story.
This is the original Lendl collection, which was significantly expanded and enriched by another Czech private collector, Richard Fuxa. We are immensely happy to have acquired this art collection.
