Curatorial context
The exhibition at Museum Kampa focuses on Sculptor Jiří Seifert (1932 – 1999), a renowned figure in the Czech sculptural landscape of the second half of the 20th century. Seifert was known for his participation in international symposiums, which he valued as vital platforms for artistic exchange. The exhibition spans his entire artistic output, presenting works in marble, sandstone, alabaster, wood, and slate, from all creative periods. Visitors can expect to see both small, intimate pieces and grander works, all embodying the artist's characteristic softness, sense of permanence, dynamic movement, and classical fluting.
During the 1970s, Seifert experienced a period of forced withdrawal from public life, living in seclusion, a phase of his life that adds depth to his artistic legacy. The curators, Miroslava Hajek and Martina Vítková, have brought together a comprehensive collection that aims to provide a full appreciation of Seifert's sculptural contributions and artistic dialogue.
