About

KodlContemporary builds on the long-standing gallery, collecting, and patronage tradition of the Kodl family, which dates back to the late 19th century.

KodlContemporary is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2025 and located in the historic centre of Prague. It operates within a newly designed, distinctive exhibition space in the form of a glass cube and focuses on artistic production from Central and Eastern Europe. Building on the 130-year legacy of the family-run Galerie Kodl, it provides a platform for both emerging and established artists who explore the social, political, and cultural conditions shaping the contemporary climate as well as the local context.

Its programme emphasises conceptually rigorous approaches, experimentation with materials, and a critical engagement with the historical layers that have shaped the local artistic discourse. KodlContemporary seeks to strengthen the position of Central European art within a global context while situating the work of Czech and international artists within broader historical and global narratives.
