Chapters from the History of Olomouc Art Culture 1969-1989 from 2009. In addition to free works (painting, sculpture, drawing, graphic art, sculpture, photography), due attention will also be paid to applied art (especially graphic design), architecture, art in public space, gallery and institutional operations and important festivals of multi-genre focus. In addition to art historical essays, the accompanying publication with its rich pictorial material will also include a philosophical and sociological study on the transformation process of society in local conditions, medallions of the most important artists, galleries and institutions, a list of literature and other items belonging to the standard equipment of a scientific publication.
