Kastner herself has deep Czech roots: Her grandmother was related to Karel and Josef Čapek and in the 1980s she regularly visited Prague, where she was introduced to the local art scene through relatives, and notable artists, Pavel Brázda and Věra Nováková. I spoke to Katherine Kastner, who is known to all as Kacha, at our Prague studios. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/fbdceea363af777658444edb5d0edfdb.jpg?timestamp=1764928370 Katherine Kastner on fascinating Czech family history – and building one of Prague’s top independent galleries https://english.radio.cz/katherine-kastner-fascinating-czech-family-history-and-building-one-pragues-top-8870950 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
