Description The publication is published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name by the sculptor Elzbieta Grosseová, which was held from 2 to 29 9. 2024 in the Prague Gallery Nová siň. The publication places the work of a sculptor of Czech-Polish origin, who has lived in Horoměřice near Prague since the 1970s, in a wider artistic-historical context, in which the Czech and Polish artistic environments are connected. The editor of the catalog is curator and art historian Martina Mrázová, who in her text focuses on Elzbieta Grosse's work from the beginning to the present day. She places the artist's work in the context of the Warsaw art scene in the 1960s and early 1970s and traces the intricate paths of her artistic development through sculptural realizations in iron and wrought iron, which she connects with the works of Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz, to the contemporary abstract ceramic sculptures that complete the cycle objects presented at the Marathon exhibition. The one-hundred-page publication also contains texts by the artist herself, explaining the intentions of her latest sculptural cycle, and a text by ceramic sculpture collector Iwona Siewierska. The catalog in the Czech-English language mutation, containing rich photographic documentation, was graphically prepared by the graphic designer and typographer, prof. Rostislav Vanek
