Description
David Černý is a Czech conceptual artist and sculptor and is one of the major artists of the European contemporary scene. He became famous at the time of the Velvet Revolution when he was only a student at the School of Applied Arts in Prague with an act denouncing the institutionalization of communism in the Czechoslovak government apparatus of the time.
