Prague 5: Exhibition of photographs by Ivan Kuptík in the Prádelna Gallery
11.04.2022 9:15 | Press Release
“April, the Prádelna Gallery at the Prádelna Community Center in Holečková Street will once again include photography. He will present his work here by the experienced photographer Ivan Oskar Kuptík, who currently works as the editor of the magazine Naše Praha, “said Councilor JUDr. Petr Lachnit, who opened the exhibition together with the author and representative Josef Endal on Friday.
Ivan Oskar Kuptík, born in 1952, went through several editorial offices, probably spending the longest time as a writing editor in Večerní Praha (later Večerník Praha), where he worked in the crime section for many years. Evening Prague was also a photography school for him, because he saw real masters at work – Stanislav Tereba, Václav Jirsa and later more and more. He himself recalls this: “Stanislav Tereba carried his Leica with him permanently, whether he went to the theater with his wife or to a restaurant for dinner. That was my first lesson. One of my young colleagues killed me when I met him somewhere and told him to take a picture – I’m not shaking today, I have a camera at home, um – What do you think about it? Stanislav Tereba and I once took a picture of a fire drill. He disappeared from me, and when all the photographers were crushing the photos in a crowd, he couldn’t be found. Damn it, where is he? Is he wandering somewhere or what? No, he climbed to the roof of the fire truck to have an original shot. “
He received further lessons, for example, from Václav Jirsa, who excelled in a genre that is no longer practiced in the press today – photofejeton. The story in three or four photos actually only with a caption. You just have to wait for the photo, which was a crucial discovery for the eternally hurried editor of the crime section.

He himself claims that he does not reach these people’s ankles, but he likes Prague, fifty photos of her and sometimes something goes wrong, so one photo a year.
The exhibition in the Prádelna Gallery presents a selection of Kuptík’s rich work, so everyone interested in photography will find something to their liking. You can see the exhibition until Friday, April 27, 2022.
“Photographic exhibitions in our Laundry Gallery have a tradition and a number of photographic enthusiasts and real professionals have already presented their works here. The second group includes Ivan Oskar Kuptík, an experienced editorial matador who really learned from the best in the field of photographic reporting and is now one of the most experienced editors. I am very much looking forward to his exhibition and I invite all fans of “honest” photography to visit, “recommends the exhibition JUDr. Petr Lachnit, councilor of the Prague 5 district.
