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.…

Hardback, laminated cardboard, 180 pp., 29,7 x 25,7 cm, Brand-new copy, original wrapping "Vladimir Birgus (b. 1954) has long been important on the Czech and European photography scene, where he plays several roles, ranging from photographer and columnist to historian and teacher. A number of high-profile projects are connected with his name, in particular the comprehensive exhibitions and books Czech Photographic Avant-garde, 1918-1948 and Czech Photography of the 20th Century, which have, in a fundamental way, helped promote the works of a many Czech photographers internationally. He has also helped to gain appreciation for the works of Frantisek Drtikol, Jaroslav Rössler, and Eugen Wiskovsky. As a photographer, he has gained an international reputation, and has shown his works in dozens of exhibitions at home and abroad, and his photographs are in a number of important collections. Since the late 1970s, he has systematically expanded his series of photographs called Something Unspeakable, in which he organically links elements of socially concerned documentary photography with a subjective view. His photographs are enriched with many visual metaphors and symbols, whose psychological and emotional meanings are underscored by the symbolic use of colour photography. His photographs include existential and dramatic scenes from the streets of big European cities against the background of everyday life and slowly moving history." Book Language/s: English.…

Light toning to the lower extremities, otherwise a fine, unmarked copy. Unclipped pictorial jacket has superficial wear to the edges and rear panel. "Ivan Pinkava makes use of the human body and face as a mirror of cultural significances, without at the same time detracting from the authentic identity of a specific person. Thanks to its emphasised, purely personal physiognomy, his portrait works present references to icons of the European pictorial tradition. Figures in carefully arranged scenes of gesture, expression and attributes multiply their personal identity in favour of wider significances constructed on perceptible links to myths, biblical stories, introspection of inner life, but also towards a cultural memory drawn from the history of visual art and literature."

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.…

In a series of deeply involving portraits of American artists and innovators who helped shape the very look of the modern age, American Modernness offers a sweeping story of the country's visual culture and its distinctiveness. Christopher Long is Martin S. Kermacy Centennial Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin.

"Through the Eyes of Franz Kafka: Between Image and Language traces the writer Franz Kafka's interest in modern art and visual culture. Examining Kafka's relationship to visuality, the book explores the diversity of images that surrounded Kafka in his home city of Prague-a heterogeneous and multilingual metropolis whose visual environment shaped his everyday experiences. It maps how Kafka engaged with local painting and sculpture, architecture, and monuments, and also with an array of popular visual media and phenomena from illustrated magazines and advertising to film, photography, dance, and cabaret. Kafka's attention to the modern visual culture of his era was reflected in his writings and in his interest in drawing, a practice in which he received preliminary training and which he took up in his free time during his years as a university student."
