PPF Art manages and develops major collections of photographs, paintings, and sculptures by leading Czech and Slovak artists. It operates two prestigious exhibition venues in Prague, and regularly loans works from its collections to exhibitions in the Czech Republic and abroad.
Established twenty years ago, PPF Art is committed to developing and promoting its collections, supporting artists, and enriching the Czech art scene. It adheres to the highest curatorial standards, cultivates enduring relationships with artists and art experts, and takes careful stewardship of the works in its custody. Over the years, PPF Art has assembled one of the most significant collections of Czech and Slovak photography, comprising works by 330 artists, and continues to acquire further pieces. It also cares for an extensive collection of 363 paintings and sculptures by 144 artists, predominantly Czech, spanning the 19th Century to the contemporary scene.
In 2025, PPF Art continued its long-term exhibition and collecting projects. It expanded its collection of 19th-century photography through an acquisition from a private collection. In cooperation with renowned photography experts, it also continued to create a portfolio of emerging artists, whose works will be exhibited at the Regional Gallery in Liberec. As part of its partnership with the gallery, it contributed to the organisation of an exhibition by the prominent Japanese artist Koji Kakinuma.
In 2025, the PPF-operated art venues Václav Špála Gallery and Josef Sudek Studio, both based in Prague, organised 16 exhibitions. In line with its mission, the Václav Špála Gallery focused on the work of mid-career Czech artists in painting, photography, and sculpture, representing the strongest currents of the contemporary local scene.
PPF Art has also continued its cooperation with the Czech Republic’s premier art institutions, including artwork loans to National Gallery Prague, the modern Museum Kampa, and Prague City Gallery. Last year, PPF Art, with the support of the PPF Foundation, partnered with Czech Centres in several European countries to curate and produce a travelling exhibition, Pixels and Poetics, featuring historical works from its collection. The tour opened in London in January 2026.
