Description

Tichý, who was born in 1926 in the small Moravian village of Neteice, became mellower only towards the end of his life, no longer threatening curious visitors with his axe.He had already given up photography at the beginning of the 1990s. When the nephew of a childhood friend convinced him to stage his first exhibition, and the world has taken an interest in the old Samurai ever since.By 2006, the MMK Museum fur Moderne Kunst had managed to acquire a mixed lot of 80 photographs by Miroslav Tichý for its comprehensive photography collection.These were supplemented by two subsequent acquisitions and a donation in the years 2007 and 2008. The mixed lot of 85 photographs and four sketches is still the biggest groups of works by the Czech artist in a public collection.The portfolio of Petr Kozanek, containing eight portrait photos by Miroslav Tichý, perfectly complements the body of works by the artist in the MMK collection.This publication honors Tichy's achievements and gives a further insight into one of the biggest collections of international contemporary photography.English and German text.
