Post-war confiscation in the context of monument preservation
Pastorková, Šárka ; Vajčner, Jiří (advisor) ; Uhlíková, Kristina (referee)
This thesis deals with the fate of the confiscated monuments nationalized by presidential decrees (no. 12/1945 and No. 108/1945) in 1945 within the Liberec region. The first part analyzes the wider cultural and historical milieu of the region, especially phenomena related to the expulsion of Germans and the issue of postwar confiscation generally. It focuses on the actual effect of the decrees issued by President Benes and also on the process of the establishment of state institutions for administration of confiscated property. The following part of the work is dedicated to the system of national administration of confiscated property of high artistic value (especially objects which belonged to displaced families). This part of the thesis is based primarily on preserved documents of the state organizations operating with the confiscated property after World War II, such as the National Cultural Commission (stemming from the so called Reinsurance Commission), or the State Heritage Institute. These sources include various directives, transfer protocols, correspondence, etc. Overall, the aim of the thesis is to provide a detailed analysis of the process of systematical gathering and administration of a property seized from displaced persons in a particular region in Bohemia. Keywords Liberec Region,...

The material left by Zdeněk Wirth on his death in the documentation department of the Institute of Art History AS CR
Krummholz, Martin ; Uhlíková, Kristina ; Vácha, Štěpán
The article deals with the extensive collection of materials left by Zdeněk Wirth, which he bequeathed shortly before his death to what is today the Institute of Art History, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The unusual quantity of these materials, quite exceptional for a personal collection, together with their nature (they include many photographs, plans, and drawings), suggest the hypothesis that the greater part of this collection consists of the remains of the former Historical Monuments Archive, built up during the interwar years at the State Photogrammetry Institute.

"Don´t speak of an experience." The correspondence between Zdeněk Wirth and Antonín Matejček in 1915
Uhlíková, Kristina
The correspondence between the art historians Zdeněk Wirth and Antonín Matějček in 1915 documents in an interesting way the mentality of the people who established the foundations of the modern concept of art history studies in the Czech lands. In their letters, the two friends comment on contemporary events in the field, especially on articles that were published, and deal with behind-the-scenes negotiations about who would fill which positions in Prague institutions and plans for the future development of art history after the war was over.
