| Description | Persian carpet or car? Memory of artefacts and art collecting in post-WWII Czechoslovakia What was the role of art objects in the dramatic period after 1945? What options did small private collectors have? What was there to be had on the contemporary market flooded with cheap German and Czech confiscated artistic assets and furnishings? And what significance can the preservation of the historical memory of individual artefacts have? When we can talk about art to be an imprint of our cultural identity, and when it is taken more as an investment defending our material interests? |
