collection collection

The cornerstone of the tichyocean collection is the works of Czech photographer Miroslav Tichý, whose name is also inscribed in the company’s name. Another part of the collection consists of works by established international contemporary artists who donated them to the collection on the basis of a barter exchange for Tichý’s photographs (this part of the collection is known as the Artists for Tichý – Tichý for Artists project). The collection also includes works by artists who have not undergone any artistic training or been part of an official artistic structure. Roman Buxbaum encountered the work of many of these artists in his psychiatric clinic (the collection was previously referred to as Art Beyond Cultural Definition).

The Artists for Tichý – Tichý for Artists collection is based on the unique principle of bartering between artists from all over the world for the works of Miroslav Tichý. Currently, the collection comprises over one thousand works by more than two hundred artists, with many of Tichý’s works now in the homes and studios of artists around the world.

The idea of a collection based on the principle of exchange began in 1992, when the famous Austrian artist Arnulf Rainer visited Miroslav Tichý in his hometown of Kyjov with the intention of buying some of his works. Tichý flatly refused the sale, but had nothing against the exchange. Rainer’s large-format paintings were the first pieces of what later became a large collection of works by world-famous and lesser-known artists.

The art represented in the collection is united by an interest in the personality of Miroslav Tichý and an admiration for his work. One may wonder what makes the figure of Tichý so fascinating to such a diverse group of creative people across generations. Was it his life dedicated to an art that is so distinctive in itself that it needs neither publicity nor recognition? An uncompromising devotion to the work, affirming the inseparability of life and art? Whatever the case, Tichý’s legacy remains to this day a living organism that never ceases to inspire.
