Exhibition date: September 2022 – December 2022

Peter Mandl – born 1947 in the Czech Republic, has devoted his life to sculptures.

Movements reminiscent of the elements, shapes found in nature, the human body, are frozen still yet forever moving, telling a story, pleasing the eye, feeding the mind and caressing the soul. His exquisite sculptures can be seen in private and public art collections all over the world.READ MORE

The fine art glassworkers, Miluse Roubickova and Rene Roubicek, have been linked to the events in this artistic profession for over fifty years. Together both of them, each in their own personal fashion, contributed in the creation of its mutable visage. After finishing his studies at the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague, Rene Roubicek became a teacher at the Secondary School of Glass Applied Arts in Kamecky Senov (1945-1952).

9. June 1997 In Glasgalerie Hittfeld - Germany

Czech and German Glass Art

Duration of the exhibition: February – April 1997 – Since the foundation of her glass gallery, Eliska Stölting solely exhibited objects of Czech glass artists. However, as this relatively young art is still not very well known to the public, she has extended her concept a few years ago by presenting once a year an exhibition of Czech glass art together with the glass
art from another country.

8. February 1997 In Glasgalerie Hittfeld - Germany

Jan Fišar: Retrospective 1966-1997

Duration of the exhibition: February – April 1997 – The Czech glass artist Jan Fisar presented in Glasgalerie Hittfeld his glass sculptures out of three centuries. This is a retrospective which is certainly impressive in the young glass movement. Since 1988 – the year when Glasgalerie Hittfeld was founded – Jan Fisar has been regularly represented with his objects here, and visitors and interested people were able to follow his artistical development in Glasgalerie Hittfeld during these eight years.
