Kupka-Waldes. The Artist and His Collector

Více o knize

The Jindřich Waldes collection was confiscated and placed in the care of the State Collection of Old Masters in Prague in 1939. Although Waldes' heirs requested restitution of the collection in 1946, their claims were not settled before Feb. 1948 and the Waldes Collection was incorporated into the collections of the National Gallery in Prague. In 1996 the collection was returned to the heirs of Jindřich Waldes. In that same year Jiří Waldes, on behalf of the Waldes family, donated some of the works from the collection to the National Gallery in Prague in memory of his father.
