Profile

Stefan Milkov

Zastoupen v Národní galeriiSamostatná výstava v DOXu 2024/25Autor pomníku Nikoly Tesly v Praze

Stefan Milkov (*1955) je sochař, malíř a hudebník, jedna z nejvýraznějších osobností českého sochařství posledních čtyřiceti let. Jeho díla najdeme ve veřejném prostoru po celé republice: šestimetrový bronzový pomník Nikoly Tesly v pražských Dejvicích, El Niňo v parku Hadovka, Amorfoid v zahradě Anežského kláštera, devítimetrovou Bránu s kyvadlem a pramenem na náměstí v Havířově i pomník malíře Georgese Karse v Kralupech nad Vltavou.

V roce 1987 spoluzaložil s Františkem Skálou, Petrem Niklem, Stanislavem Divišem, Jaroslavem Rónou a dalšími legendární skupinu Tvrdohlaví. Centrum současného umění DOX, u jehož vstupu dlouhodobě sedí jeho bronzová Pieta, mu v letech 2024 a 2025 uspořádalo dosud nejrozsáhlejší samostatnou výstavu: 29 převážně monumentálních soch z pětatřiceti let práce. Je zastoupen ve sbírkách Národní galerie Praha a Galerie hlavního města Prahy. A podle jeho návrhů postavil kytarář Peter Jurkovič elektrické kytary pro Erica Claptona, Billyho Gibbonse ze ZZ Top a Jeffa Becka.

About the work

A tribute to those who deserve it through their work

The Drunken Angel is one of Stefan Milkov’s best-known sculptures, and he himself ranks it among the two most important works in his career. He carved the first version in 1996 at a symposium in Mikulov from a Canadian poplar trunk. In 2010, with the support of friends and art lovers, he cast it in a four-meter-tall bronze and dedicated it to prominent Czech and international artists who died due to alcohol or drugs. Only this large bronze sculpture bears their names on the back of its wings. According to Milkov, it is neither a warning nor a celebration, but a tribute to people who deserve it through their work. He used it to open his largest exhibition to date at DOX.
