Ausstellung

‘35 years ago, gallery owner Marianne Heller turned her attention to the art scene of our
Eastern European neighbour, the Czech Republic. It was that memorable year 1989, the year
of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disappearance of the Iron Curtain. It has become a
continuing story. Over the years, many exhibitions have awakened interest in the ‘other’ art.’
To mark the 100th anniversary of Franz Kafka's death, the gallery launched the series
‘ART FROM PRAGUE I’ on 9 June, taking another look at the Prague ceramics scene. In
bursts of imagination, the artists here go beyond the vessel tradition, creating sculptures and
almost stories from the material clay.
From 1 September, the exhibition ‘ART FROM PRAGUE II’ will focus on the presentation
of extraordinary studio objects by 13 established glass artists. The selection by the Galerie
Kuzebauch, Prague, represents a cross-section of the glass art scene in the Czech Republic
across several generations.
The high craftsmanship of Czech glass art was recognised in December 2023 with its
inclusion on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage.
