Gladstone Gallery presents an exhibition of drawings by Czech artist Anna Zemánková (1908–1986), spanning her oeuvre from the 1960s-1970s. This exhibition emphasizes the remarkable foresight of Zemánková’s work through an art historical lens, reflecting her trailblazing influence in abstraction and seeks to expand the psychological and spiritual realms of the form. The works in the show comprise rarely seen incandescent botanical drawings and pastel works on paper.

This exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Estate of Anna Zemánková and Cavin-Morris Gallery.

“Sure, I’ll draw you something, I’ll draw you one of my fantasies.”
—Anna Zemánková
