Kamenný květ, Stone sculpture in Liboc, Czech Republic
Kamenný květ is a 2.20-metre trachyte sculpture by Zdena Fibichová, carved between 1967 and 1971 and set on a low circular stone-clad plinth on a grassy strip near the Divoká Šárka bus stop in Liboc, Prague. It is recorded in the Prague City Gallery collection under inventory number VP-145.
Zdena Fibichová created the sculpture between 1967 and 1971 as one of several artworks placed along the former Lenin Street (now Evropská) during its reconstruction. The street was renamed Evropská only later, not at the time of installation. In 2020 the sculpture was cleaned and its low circular stone-clad plinth was repaired and supplemented.
The piece is part of Prague's public art scene from the early 1970s. It shows how artists of that time tried to integrate sculptures into urban spaces and enrich the everyday surroundings for people walking by.
The sculpture stands on a grassy plot at the corner of Evropská and Vlastina streets, right by the Divoká Šárka bus stop, so it is easy to find on foot. It sits on a low circular plinth with stone cladding, rebuilt during the 2020 restoration completed in mid-August.
The final stone version was preceded by a smaller cement prototype measuring 40 centimeters, which served as a working model. This approach was typical for artists who tested their ideas in small scale before creating larger public works.
