A major retrospective of Eva Švankmajerová — painter, stage designer, writer, and a leading figure of Czech surrealism — is now on display at Prague’s DOX Centre for Contemporary Art. Titled Woe to the Painting…, the exhibition spans her entire creative life, from the 1960s to her final years.

Marking twenty years since Eva Švankmajerová’s death, the exhibition brings together not only her paintings and drawings, but also ceramics, furniture, and film props created for the works of her husband and lifelong collaborator, Jan Švankmajer, who contributed to this exhibition as well.
