Conservationists are attempting to save a large-scale mosaic created by the famous twin sisters Jitka and Květa Válová in the late 1970s. The artwork, believed to have been lost, was discovered some time ago in a building, which is slated for demolition.
The identical twins Jitka and Květa Válová are widely considered one of the most distinctive Czech artists of the post-war generation. The sisters spent their whole life together, living and working in the industrial town of Kladno.
They mainly produced paintings and drawings, but they also created a couple of 3D objects, including a mosaic made of thousands of glass pieces.
