Heroin Crystal / Nineties Generation in Prague City Gallery – Olga Malá (ed.)

The book presents the key works of fifteen protagonists of the “Golden 1990s” generation (Krištof Kintera, Michal Pěchouček, Veronika Bromová, Markéta Othová, Jiří Černický, Federico Díaz, Milena Dopitová and others). These artists exhibited at Prague City Gallery at the very beginning of their artistic career, and since then they have attained fame both at home and on the international art scene. The activities of Prague City Gallery in the hectic years 1994–2002 associated with artists of this generation were organized and curated by a pair of young art historians, Olga Malá and Karel Srp. The book consists of an extensive pictorial section accompanied by texts by Michal Koleček, Terezie Nekvindová, Jakub Král, Miroslav Petříček and Olga Malá. A separate final chapter is devoted to the Archive, which deals with each of the twenty-two exhibitions in chronological order and provides visuals of documentary materials such as invitations, catalogues and photographs from exhibitions and openings, as well as press reviews.
