Between 2013 and 2025, the Prague City Gallery acquired 2,366 works of art. In the previous comparable period, the number was only 375. Such an expansion of the collection makes it possible not only to chart the work of established artists but also to capture developments in the emerging art scene.
The exhibition presents a selection from the Prague City Gallery’s acquisitions during the period when the exhibition’s curator, Magdalena Juříková, has headed the institution. She is also stepping down as director of the Prague City Gallery this year.
The works on display encompass a wide range of media—from painting, drawing, and sculpture, through photography and video, to spatial installations and forms of conceptual art. In addition to well-known artists from several generations (Jitka Válová, Stanislav Kolíbal, Milan Grygar, Květa Pacovská, Milena Dopitová, Jiří David, and others), the exhibition also features younger artists (Tadeáš Kotrba, Vasil Artamonov and Alexey Klyuykov, the Podebal group, and others).
GHMP Director and exhibition curator Magdalena Juříková will guide visitors through the exhibition.
