The retrospective exhibition Robert Vano presents almost 150 black-and-white and color photographs, mostly never published, which map seventy years of life and over fifty years of artistic career of one of the most prominent personalities of Czech and international photography. The exhibition also has an exceptional character – it is the last solo exhibition of Robert Vano and symbolically concludes his long creative career.

​

The exhibition will take visitors from New York, via Milan and Paris, to Prague – a city that has been home to Robert Vano for more than three decades. On display are famous portraits, male nudes, poetic still lifes and works created using the rare platinotype technique, which is characterized by extraordinary durability, subtle tones and significant depth.

 

The exhibition also includes previously unpublished images from the 1970s and 1980s, the latest work inspired by the aesthetics of Miroslav Tichý and Sarah Moon, personal archival materials, audio and video recordings, podcasts and the documentary film Robert Vano – The Story of a Man directed by Adolf Zika. The visitor is offered a comprehensive view of the work and life story of the author, who has always remained true to his style – and is now saying goodbye to the world of photography in style.
