Materials obtained through the research of post-war art in Central Europe (namely the 1960s J. Kolar, K. Malich, E. Krasinski, Mangelos) were used to assist curator Milena Kalinovska on preparation and installation of the exhibition and especially in compiling the catalogue. After the Prague premiere in the National Gallery Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art, the exhibit was transferred to the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the Recoleta Cultural Centre in Buenos Aires, to the Museum of Brazilian Art in Sao Paulo and to the Museum for Art in Berkeley.
