Art Collection
In 1998, the Foundation started a collection of Czech contemporary art composed of works donated by some of the Czech Republic's most prominent artists, as part of its capital endowment plan. The initial collection was first presented to the public in an exhibition at the Vaclav Spala Gallery in Prague in early 1999 under the patronage President Vaclav Havel. Following the exhibition, a selection of the works personally made by President Havel, was sent on loan to the newly reconstructed central pavilion of the Military Hospital in Prague.
At the end of 2002, the Collection contained 101 works of art valued at 2,745,000 Kč. The Collection is continually growing and, in addition to being a valuable part of the Center's documentation of Czech contemporary art, is also available on loan to private and public organizations. The Foundation will continue to add to its Collection in the year 2003 and will expand its loan program to commercial enterprises so as to earn income to support the grants and awards programs.
