The exhibition presents works by six “star” representatives among the originators of modern art: František Kupka, Emil Filla, Antonín Procházka, Jan Zrzavý, František Foltýn, and Toyen. Together, and each in his or her own way, were significantly formative for the Czech and European modern and avant-garde in the first half of the 20th century.

The works in this exhibition are on loan thanks to Nadácia Sovereign Invest, thanks to whom we can present you a choice selection of paintings by outstanding art personalities, assembled specially for the SNG. The collection nods to this year’s 30th anniversary of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, but above all to the life and art of the shared republic. Enjoy this precious encounter vis à vis some uncommon and truly exceptional art, and “touch the stars”.

The exhibition is open at the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava from September 15, 2023 to January 14, 2024.
