Although four decades of state socialism did not completely interrupt the tradition of private collecting in the Czech Republic, substantial private art collections have only been fully developing here since 1989.

How have the conditions under which such collections are formed and exist changed during that time? What is the role of private collections on the Czech art scene, and how are they presented to the public? And what challenges do private collectors face if they decide to purchase art in media other than traditional ones?

In the new episode of the discussion program Art Guide, Marika Kupková, curator of the Marek Collection, and Ján Gajdušek, curator of the Havrlant Art Collection, along with art journalist Matěj Forejt.
