Černý was born in 1967 in Prague. He became famous in the early ‘90s when he painted a Soviet Tank pink. The tank was located in the center of town and considered a cultural monument at that time, a memorial to Soviet tank crews. His act was considered hooliganism and he was briefly arrested for civil disobedience. He’s now one of the best contemporary Czech artists known for his provocative pieces that are banned in some European cities. But Czechs (mostly) love him; he was awarded a studio in the center of Prague where he continues making his controversial creations.During your explorations of the Little Quarter, take a stroll through Kampa Park and discover David Cerny's bronze babies that can be found guarding the entrance to the Museum Kampa. These strange larger than life sculptures have no faces and their fiberglass brother and sisters can be found scaling the Television Tower in the Žižkov Neighbourhood.
