first edition, published on the occassion of the exhibition "Czech Glass, Quo Vadis?!" at The Venice Glass Week, Venice, 4-12 September 2021; OBrosch., [168] pp. with many illustrations, 4° (22 x 22 cm), brand-new copy "Czech Glass, Quo Vadis ?! is a kind of reflection on the paths that Czech studio work takes in glass art today, 60 years after its phenomenal success at EXPO 58 in Brussels. My intention was to present the most diverse mosaic of approaches to glass, to show how glass intervenes in other areas of art, and to demonstrate the possibilities of its connection with non-traditional materials. The catalogue is conceived as a book of professional and life stories of individual authors rather than as an expert's publication. In it, I follow their professional line, but also the human level. I point out their individuality, exceptionality, the ability to be different, to find their own way, to cope with difficult situations and to persevere when everything literally and figuratively is splintered. The mosaic of presented profiles of authors became a story in itself." Mária Gálová Book Language/s: English, Czech.…

first edition; hardback, 123 pp., abundantly illustarted, 4to (28,5 x 21 cm), brand-new copy. "The book presents a selection of the latest works by Erika Bornová, one of today's most distinctive artists and a teller of forceful and multifaceted stories. Her sculptural cycle dedicated to Alma Mahler and her men, her captivating acrylic self-portraits, her imaginative drawings of Plants or Aquatic Creatures - they all reflect, with a sense of hyperbole, the banality of life. Working with her distinctive passion, Bornová attempts to untangle the complex web of people's imagination and dreams while engaging in a serious exploration of our complicated relationship to the world, to others, to ourselves, and to nature. With expert texts on her work by Martina Pachmanová and Otta M. Urban." Book Language/s: English, Czech.…

"Tomas Rajlich is internationally recognized as a major figure in European painting. His monochromatic canvases based on the Minimalist grid are the result of meticulous research on the fundamental elements of painting. In the 100 small-scale paintings brought together in this booklet, he explores the combination of the impersonal, the gestural and the creative force of light; they are variations on the intensity, luminosity and facture of the paint, while clearly remaining a factual painting. Emerging in the early 1970s, he is often associated with Minimalism and Fundamental Painting - a term coined by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in 1975. The current includes Robert Ryman, Robert Mangold, Agnes Martin, and the early years of Brice Marden and Gerhard Richter. An artist of uncompromising integrity, he maintains a position as one of the most significant living postwar and contemporary painters of his generation. His works have been the subject of major retrospectives and included in the collections of renowned museums worldwide, such as the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York."

first edition; hardback, 229 pp., abundantly illustrated, large 4to (23,5 x 28 cm), brand-new copy. "Jiri Hauschka (born 1965 in Sumperk) turns to this type of painting method that utilizes colours and symbolic connotations, prevalent at the turn of the 20th century - he positions himself in that period next to the Canadian painter Tom Thomson (1877-1917) - and used by contemporary painters such as Daniel Richter or Peter Doig. Reality is transformed by the painter's narration into layered storytelling, where the artist's memory is interspersed with new experiences, views, desires and emotional turbulences. In the case of Jiri Hauschka, we find ourselves in the wilderness of painter nostalgia, where we look for the conceptual person, and in urban civilization, which has barely any options left and where we can therefore feel and see the colours of wilderness. The authors of the texts are Martin Dostál and the famous British art historian Edward Lucie-Smith." Book Language/s: English, Czech.…
