Anna Zemánková’s post-spiritualist practice remains as private and profound as when it first emerged half a century ago. Over 30 years, the self-taught Czech artist evolved her voluminous abstracted pastels into a delicate threaded vegetation drawing from the regional histories of folkloric making.
Zemánková’s work is included in the collections of Centre Pompidou, Paris, Collection de l’Art Brut, Lausanne, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and American Folk Art Museum, New York. Exhibitions include Ostalgia at New Museum, New York (2011), The Encyclopaedic Palace at the 55th Venice Biennale (2013) and The Botanical Mind at Camden Art Centre, London (2021).
Zemánková’s work was on display in Foreigners Everywhere at the 60th Venice Biennale (2024), curated by Adriano Pedrosa.
