Připravované výstavy

Rostislav Vaněk’s exhibition at the Gallery of West Bohemia in Pilsen does not aspire to be a classic retrospective of what this important artist and educator in the field of graphic design has created over the years; rather, it attempts at raising the question of what is inspiring about his works for his colleagues in the field today? What does the uninitiated gallery visitor see when they look at a design they encountered fifty, thirty, ten years ago, or encounter daily? Are they even aware that someone invented the design, or even know the name of its creator?

The retrospective exhibition accompanied by an extensive treatise is held on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of one of the most important figures of Pilsen’s artistic life, Jiří Patera.
