Photographer Robert Vano, the second best known Slovak-American after Andy Warhol, exhibits his works in the “Galerie des Artistes” above the café Salon Daguerre (1 Slovákova st.; see a map).

The exposition is called “Platinium collection” and shows Vano’s photos made between 1968 and 2009. Vano is famous for beautiful male and female nudes and for using a rare, old-school technique of platinium prints – hence the “Platinium collection”. He has shot exclusive series for magazines Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.

I visted the same exhibition in Prague last year and it was awesome. Highly recommended! Be sure to check it out before it closes on May 2.
