Figural columns (27 executed nobles of Bohemia) by Karel Nepraš, 1995
Liechtenstein Palace
Malostranské náměstí, Malá Strana
Prague, September 2024
“Continued cooperation with arch. Kupka was important for his projects for architecture also in the 1990s. At that time he abandoned assemblages and created a series of stylistically pure cast-iron torso casts (‘Measure of Responsibility’, 1993), figural columns for Liechtenstein Palace (realized by SVOAS, Stará Huť's foundry and engineering plant), semi-figures – columns ‘Three Figures’ (1999, Museum Kampa) or designs for the stone elements of the staircase of Liechtenstein Palace. In his inventive design of the balustrades and railings of the stair hall, he applied the motif of singing angelic choirs in profile.” (Karel Nepraš, Wikipedia)
