Henkel Slovakia recently presented its 16th artist to the public as part of its ongoing project ‘Henkel Slovakia to Slovakia’.
Every year, the Henkel Slovakia to Slovakia project showcases the work of an arts professional with Slovak roots. The work of sculptor and plastic artist Gyula Kosice was unveiled at an exhibition held at the Bratislava City Gallery in Mirbach Palace before the end of last year; the exhibition will be on show until 1 February. It is the first stand-alone Kosice exhibition in Central Europe. Kosice is an Argentinean multi-media artist who was born in Košice in 1924 and lives in Buenos Aires.
President of Henkel Slovakia Christian Schulz said: “Since 1999, when Henkel Slovakia came up with the idea to present internationally-acclaimed visual artists of Slovak origin to the general public every year, we have introduced 15 well-known names, one of them a female artist. I am even more pleased that for the fourth time we are able to bring the exhibition to other Slovak cities, so that even more people have the opportunity to see it."
“It is the longest lasting visual arts project implemented in Slovakia with a commercial partner,” added Ivan Jančár, Director of the Bratislava City Gallery.
