CZECH BANKNOTE ARTIST OLDRICH KULHANEK'S WORK EXHIBITED IN CHICAGO

"Czech artist Oldrich Kulhanek's career has taken some bizarre
twists, from time in a Communist jail to designing banknotes
for the new Czech Republic which are part of a new U.S.
exhibition of his work.

"The exhibition includes the first display of his prints for
the current Czech banknotes he designed in the early 1990s,
large lithographs of nude figures, and a series of works
devoted to Czech-born writer Franz Kafka who wrote about a
nightmarish world of isolated and troubled individuals.

"The exhibition is one of the attractions in 'Prague Days in
Chicago,' a series of events this summer to mark Chicago and
the Czech capital's pairing up as sister cities back in 1990.

"The exhibition 'Oldrich Kulhanek - drawings and prints' runs
to July 31 at the International Currents Gallery of the John
David Mooney Foundation at 114 West Kinzie Street, Chicago.
The gallery is open Tuesday to Thursday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.,
Friday and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., or by appointment.
Tel. 312 822 0483, mooneyfoundation.org
