Stanislav Libenský (1921-2002) and Jaroslava Brychtová (1924)
are world-renowned Czech artists who created some of the
defining cast glass sculptures and architectural installations of
the 20th century. During a life and artistic partnership, which
lasted almost 50 years, they explored the optical and physical
aspects of glass to develop a body of work concerning form,
light and color. Thier sculptural legacy ranges from luminous
geometry to spiritual figuration.
Since Professor Libenský's death, Mrs. Brychtová has continued
to occasionally cast and exhibit the sculptures they
created together. Reflections: Recent Castings of Iconic Works is
a selection of sculptures representing some of the most significant
aspects of their oeuvre. Ranging from one of their earliest
collaborations, "Tall Head," first cast in 1957, to the beautiful
geometric forms of the 1990’s series entitled "Spaces," the
exhibition offers highlights of a rich collaborative career.
Heller Gallery has been privileged to represent the Libenskýs
for the past twenty-five years. It is with great pride that we
present this exhibition.
