Travelling exhibitions

The exhibition is dedicated to the most famous work of print by Josef Váchal (1884 – 1969), the ​‘Bloody Novel’ he published in 1924 in a print run of 17 copies. The exhibition presents the belatedly famous graphic designer, painter, mystic and writer Josef Váchal and a collection of his ​‘penny-dreadful’ colportage novels. It is, however, primarily devoted to the book that Váchal wrote, inspired by this kind of pamphlet literature, partly as a would-be erudite study of the genre, partly as his own particular novel. 

The exhibition consists of 10 panels and one three-dimensional object – a facsimile of the Bloody Novel, in three distinct language variants – Czech, English and German (the language variants are not available together, the travelling exhibition can be provided only in the given language version). CZ – lightweight self-supporting suspended panels; 9 pieces 135 x 90 cm plus an introductory panel 76 x 76 cm

EN or DE – light self-supporting suspended panels; 9 pieces 135 x 90 cm plus an introductory panel 135 x 90 cm.

The exhibition also included catalogues in the three language versions, as a folded composite (format 59 x 25 cm, folded into 10 x 25 cm).
