Monograph of Luboš
in a limited edition
A trilingual monograph (CZ/EN/FR) on the artist Luboš Plný has just been published by Kavka Editions.
The book is the result of a series of interviews focusing on the artist’s various creative cycles and generally follows a chronological structure. However, some conversations led to a thematic approach, grouping works by subject matter or life circumstances.
The publication is available in a limited edition of 300 numbered copies. The first 20 copies are signed by the artist and include an original print from one of his collages.
Luboš Plný whose international recognition was confirmed by his selection in the 57th Venice Biennale titled Viva Arte Viva (curated by Christine Macel) in 2017. As the first outsider artist acquired by the MNAM in 2013, he has enjoyed numerous institutional exhibitions in recent years. These include exhibitions at contemporary art museums in Kobe and Hiroshima, Japan, at the Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles, at the Kunsthalle in Dresden, and in his hometown of Prague. In 2017, the Dox Art Center dedicated a solo exhibition to him, and in 2022, the Rudolfinum facilitated a dialogue between him and artists such as Louise Bourgeois and William Kentridge. In September 2023, we dedicated a solo show to him in our two spaces, a monography and a performance at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.
