	DOUGH
	Developing capitalism has brought about many a new thing. One of the novelties includes brand new perception of money. It is as if it had higher value all of a sudden, its power and magic in our wallets and on our bank accounts is increasing. While before, culture fought against political suppression, it now complains of lack of funds. The link between art and money has always been and still is…

	HELL’S CONQUEROR
	If we get sick of Western art, we might take a look at Africa for a change and refreshment. Africa is a lucky continent as they don’t have museums of contemporary art there with the exception of a few places. African art’s advantage is that there is no market as we it from so called developed world. This developed market is, however, trying to find its ways to the black continent. We do hear…

THE STUBBORN’S RECIPE BOOK

The art group Stubborn’s showing in 1987 significantly influenced Czech art of this century’s last decade. It was as if a new era opened up with the Stubborn and other artists of their generation. That is what we thought at least during their first exhibition at the Popular House in Prague’s Vysočany twelve years ago. Even though the Stubborn have not existed as a group for several years now,…

SEVEN THESES ON THE CRISIS OF CZECH ART

"1. The current crisis is manifested by the fact that the Czech Republic has produced a very limited number of strong and interesting works of art in recent years.2. It is imperative to realize that this crisis is not exclusively derived from the conditions in the general society and economic hardships but it arises from the very situation in the arts.3. Self-complacency is the prevailing…

	“SHUT UP OR I’LL BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT!
	It’s been almost a year since my friend Roxanne from California paid me a visit. She was going to stay with me and my girlfriend and was ensuring us over the phone that she would be no trouble, plus she would bring a very special present to us. “It’s Toy Porno,“ she said, “I’m sure that particularly you guys will enjoy it.“ I didn’t want to come across as a prudent person and kept doubts whether…

LONGING TO BECOME AMERICANS

In mid-August 1998, a gallerist and curator from New York paid me a visit at the National Gallery in Prague. It was his first time in town and first time in Central and Eastern Europe. His gallery is exclusively focusing on Asian art and he himself is Chinese by origin, born and educated in the United States. I showed him our collection of Czech art (he was not in the least interested in early…

	A HOLIDAY VISIT OR FRUSTRATION? (SUPERMARKET MERCHANDISE AS MUSEUM ART)
	"“I’m all lost in the supermarket, I can no longer shop happily...“, sings the British punk band The Clash. Although it is one of my favorite songs, I started to understand its atmosphere and text better only in recent years. Before 1989, it was indeed difficult to get lost in a store full of goods. Now it is no longer so difficult. Getting lost in a supermarket comes about in a moment when we…

Slavka Kneppo:

Pověsti o těžkých časech na trhu s uměním jsou opět velmi přehnané...

Letošní 50. ročník Art Basel přilákal celkem 93 000 návštěvníků a sběratelů z 80 zemí světa. 290 prémiových galerií představilo umělecká díla od počátku 20. století až po současnost. Hlavní sektor přehlídky, tradičně v prvním patře výstavního prostoru, představil 232 předních galerií z celého světa nabízející umění nejvyšší kvality. Veletrh ukázal vzestupný trend prodeje prostřednictvím galerií jak soukromým sbírkám, tak i institucím. Kromě hlavního veletrhu stály za návštěvu i ty přidružené: Volta, Liste a Photo Basel, k tomu doprovodné programy a výstavy v místních institucích, které kvalitou daleko přesahují hranice města tj. Kunsthalle Basel, Kunstmuseum, Tinguely muzeum nebo Fondation Beyeler.
