About this event

Arts • Fine Art

Between 1983 and 1987, as part of a cultural agreement between the UK and Czechoslovakia, the speaker, then a very junior member of the British Museum staff, was instructed to organise a joint exhibition of the work of Václav/Wenceslaus Hollar to be shown in London and Prague. This led to other exhibitions and collaborations which were often bizarre but always a great pleasure.

Antony Griffiths, art historian, is the former Keeper of the Department of Prints and Drawings, British Museum, and Slade Professor of Fine Art at University of Oxford.

Tickets include a glass of wine.

EVENT ORGANISED WITH THE COOPERATION OF THE EMBASSY OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC.
