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’s international recognition was firmly established in 2017, when he was selected for the 57th Venice Biennale. The first Art Brut artist to be acquired by the Musée National d’Art Moderne (MNAM) in 2013, he has since been the subject of exhibitions at the contemporary art museums of Kobe and Hiroshima, the Kunsthalle Dresden, and in his native Prague, where the Rudolfinum, notably, brought his work into dialogue with artists such as Louise Bourgeois and William Kentridge in 2022. In September 2023, we dedicated a solo exhibition to him across both our spaces, published a monograph, and presented a performance at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris.
