AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Czech/English text!
Bohumil Krčil (2007) is a photographic monograph published by Torst as part of the FotoTorst series, showcasing the work of the prematurely deceased Czech photographer Bohumil “Bob” Krčil (1952–1992). Known for his documentary and portrait photography, Krčil captured life in exile after leaving Czechoslovakia in 1969, traveling across Europe and Asia, and later documenting urban life in New York City, as well as scenes from Afghanistan and the Indian Himalayas.
This volume features a carefully selected collection of his photographs, accompanied by commentary from art historian Jitka Hlaváčková, providing insight into Krčil’s documentary sensibility, personal vision, and distinctive photographic style.
Published in Czech and English, this title is rarely encountered on the market, making it a valued collectible for enthusiasts of postwar Czech photography and international documentary work.
Seller's Story
I strive to find and offer you the most interesting items from Prague’s antiquarian bookstores and second-hand shops: autographs, rarities, photographs, bibliophilia, old prints, posters, maps, catalogs, high-quality or sold-out books, as well as fine art.
Prague has always been a meeting point of cultures and languages. Especially during the 20th century, Czechoslovakia was visited by numerous world-renowned artists, writers, scientists, and other notable figures who left their mark here and established connections with local culture or institutions. So the selection here will be rich in provenance — including German, French, English, Russian, or, for example, Italian.
However, I will also aim to highlight more or less well-known Czech artists and noteworthy items — of interest to collectors and art lovers, especially those passionate about autographs, fine art, and related fields.
