Guided tour of the exhibition Signal III: Masterpieces from the Collection of Robert Runták (1900 - 1990) with curator David Voda.
Over the past few years, the Robert Runták Collection has earned its place in contemporary gallery operations nationwide. Regular loans and presentations of its acquisitions now place it among our most important contemporary private collections of European and Czech-Slovak art after 1990. Now is the opportunity to present it in its historical breadth, which begins with Czech Art Nouveau and Post-Impressionism and gradually fills out at a remarkable pace, especially with regard to the art of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The aim of this exhibition is simple. To exhibit the best of the years 1900 to 1990, looking not primarily at this collection, but through its prism at the history of Czech modern art. Perhaps in this way we will glimpse something of the spiritual and social transformation of (not only) Czech society? Here, then, are nine modern and postmodern signals. And they are "signals, crossing like blades of grass" (Ivan Blatný).
