From 14 July 2012 until 31
December 2012, the
Foundation will
be presenting the largest
exhibition of Mucha's works in
the
United States since 1998 at the
National Czech and Slovak
Museum
and Library in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa.
The remaining 15 canvases of
The Slav Epic have been
removed, without approval,
from Moravsky Krumlov to
Prague.
The proposed venue for the Slav
Epic is the Veletrzni Palac which,
the
majority of experts in the field
of art history and art
conservation and
management, including the
director of conservation of the
National Gallery,
agree, would most probably
lead to the eventual severe
damage if not
destruction of it.
It is agreed by all that currently
the space within Moravsky
Krumlov is not
ideal nevertheless it is an
indisputable fact that the entire
cycle has
survived there without any
damage for almost 50 years.
This certainly would
not have been the case had the
Epic been displayed for such a
period at
Veletrzni Palac.
In the meantime Moravsky
Krumlov is taking active steps to
renovate the
castle whilst the Mucha family
continues in its quest trying,
through
constructive cooperation, to find
and establish an appropriate
final venue
for the Epic in line with the
wishes and aspirations of its
creator,
Alphonse Mucha.
