Lesser Bank personalities in the
camera's eye
Three photographers Ivan Luttterer, Jan Malý and Jiří Poláček,
and their colleagues Bohdan Holomíček, Antonín Malý, Zdeněk Merta,
and Stanislav Tůma, are the main actors in the seventh consecutive
common exhibition of a loose cycle thematically focused on the Lesser
Bank and Hradčany - Malostranské portréty (Lesser Bank Portraits),
which is installed for the summer in Obecní galerie Beseda. For
the second year, this very successful exhibition is called Malostranský
portrét, and before that it was called Lesser Bank Corners, The
Lesser Bank Today, and Lesser Bank Figures. As opposed to the "figures",
this time the exhibition presents well-known Lesser Bank personalities
of the past and present - such as Václav Havel, the first time he
was elected president. The installation of the entire cycle, in
which more than 30 photographers have been involved over the last
six years, was organized by Stanislav Tůma.
Malostranské portréty, Obecní
galerie Beseda, Malostranská Beseda, till September 8, opened Tue
- Sun from 13.00 to 18.00, admission fee voluntary
