Lidice Art Collection
Lidice Art Collection
The Lidice Art Collection (LAC) is a public solidarity collection established in the 1960s by British physician Sir Barnett Stross MP (1899-1967). The collection only consists of artworks donated by artists from all over the world. LAC is home to pieces presented by Gerhard Richter, Mona Hatoum, Joseph Beuys, VALIE EXPORT, Alfredo Jaar, the Válovy sisters and Eva Kmentová, among others.
In 2024, the Lidice Art Collection secured funding to purchase a WideTek 60 Art scanner and a storage and digitization station to future-proof the collection. Thanks to support from the National Recovery Fund, the European Union, and the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, we aim to digitize all the artworks in the collection by the end of 2026.
Please check back regularly to discover new artworks as we progress with this wonderful endeavor.
