The Ruler. Slavkov Castle, October 28, 1990

This photograph was taken during a break in tense negotiations about the constitutional arrangement of the federation—one of many attempts to reach an agreement between the two republics on the future of the common state. The atmosphere was strained, and finding consensus among politicians was far from easy.

During the break, Václav Havel sat down in a small lounge reserved for the president and his entourage, settling into a “royal” armchair. Watched by his advisers, he laughed and declared that if he were a ruler, he wouldn’t fuss about it—he would simply issue a decree. And that would be that!

Anyone who ever came into contact with him knows that he loved to laugh and had a great sense of humor.

— Tomki Němec

Product detailed description

EDITION 17×17 is a collection of photographs presented in a clean, minimalist concept as artifacts in a compact, smaller, and more affordable format.

This photograph from the 17×17 Edition is mounted in a wooden frame with a 1 cm profile, made of natural oak. The image area measures 10 × 15 cm, and the overall frame size is 26 × 26 cm. The photograph is set in a white mat with a beveled cut. Some versions are mounted in frames with a three-centimeter depth, adjusted so that the photograph appears to “float” in space—see photo.
The frame glass features a UV-protective layer, so-called museum glass. The photograph is signed on the reverse and accompanied by a caption stating the place and date of origin. The author’s signature on the back of the photograph is also visible within the frame.

As the author of the photographic work, I always strive—beyond the visual experience—to provide the highest possible technical quality of production at a top gallery level. I print my photographs on archival papers by the German company Hahnemühle or the French company Canson, which meet the highest standards for preservation and image quality. All materials are archival and pH-neutral. When displaying photographs, I recommend following standard conservation practices—meaning that photographs (like paintings or prints) should not be exposed to direct sunlight, humidity, or high temperatures.

The photographs are intended for personal use only, for display in private homes or other private spaces. Any other use—such as display in public spaces, institutions, online publication, print/media use, or any other form of use—is permitted only with the written consent of the author.
