Summary/Abstract: For nearly 20 years the interest of Polish Avant Garde of the 1920s and 1930s is systematically rising and strengthening. The demand is still high, prices are increasing, and the number of publications is constantly rising. Foreign collectors play an important role in the market. A good example of this are the interwar poetry tomes by Julian Przyboś with the graphic design by Władysław Strzemiński – Śruby, Oburącz, Z ponad, Wgłąb las, which are clearly distinguishable among the objects commonly appearing on the Polish antique book auctions. Almost all copies offered for sale found their buyers. High starting prices have been raised multiple times.
