IVAN THEIMER GALLERIA

The significance of the work of Olomouc native Ivan Theimer has exceeded the borders of our country for several decades. Since 1968, the author has lived in France, where, as in Tuscany, he has created works that have become key acquisitions of many international art institutions, and the fame of his work has been confirmed by numerous public realisations in prestigious places in Europe. In Paris, for example, he created a magnificent monument celebrating the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen on the Fields of Martha for the 200th anniversary of the Great French Revolution; in Hamburg, he created a statue of Heinrich Hein; other sculptures by Theimer can be found in Italy and, of course, in Moravia – the Via lucis monument in Uherské Brod, the Arión Fountain in Olomouc, or, more recently, the ceremonial entrance to the castle picture room of the Archbishop’s Castle in Kroměříž. And this work will be officially presented with the personal participation of Ivan Theimer. There will also be an intimate exhibition in the Kromeriz Castle Picture Gallery, which presents the initial stages of any artistic creation – sketches and models, some of which belong to monumental realisations.
