Sculpture in Prague

"Metalmorphosis" by David Černý. A moving portrait of Kafka, probably.

We recently returned from a trip to the Czech Republic. Prague has so many interesting sculptures, especially pieces by David Černý, Prague’s bad-boy artist.

His “Metalmorphosis” is hypnotic. We stood and watched it for longer than I would have imagined. His “Saint Wenceslas” is a biting commentary on this sculpture by Josef Václav Myslbek in nearby Wenceslas Square.

We saw most of the sculptures listed in this article in the Prague Post. Unfortunately, I’ve lost a chunk of photos, or I’d include them here.

It would have been easy to miss Michal Trpák’s sculpture, “Slight Uncertainty”, hanging above a busy intersection, but our friend Jenny was there to make sure I didn’t. Thanks, Jenny!

I’ll save the modern galleries and medieval manuscripts for later posts.
