Art is all around you in Prague. Its integration into everyday life can be so clever that you can pass by and overlook an important artwork without knowing. The four ventilation chimneys of Letná road tunnel (Větráky Letenského tunelu) in the city park Letenský sady are a remarkable example.
I am so proud to know about this monumental artwork that has no competitor. The four 20-meter chimneys are covered with black and white mosaics. It is hard to believe that you are looking at art co-created in 1969 by using a computer for creating abstract geometric paintings. The modern expression and revolutionary technique, for the period, deserve admiration.
