TOUR - David Černý in Prague
TOUR - David Černý in Prague
For images of all the works mentioned here, see the video version out our YouTube channel.
Sculptor David Černý is perhaps the most notorious Czech artist today, with a sarcastic and sardonic wit that informs his large-scale, often kinetic, works. Subtle, he ain't. He's got 22 works here in Prague, and we'll take a tour of them all in this episode, going all the way back to beginning of his career through works from 2020. You can try to see them all in one day (takes about six hours) or in separate sections. Includes directions and area info as well.
Like what we do? Then buy us a beer or three via our Buy Me a Coffee page!
