Storm, sculpture, Park Ivana Jilemnického in Prague
Storm is an abstract sandstone sculpture by Ivan Jilemnický (1944–2012), cut from stone in 1993 and set on a lawn in Ivan Jilemnický Park in Strašnice, Prague 10. Its carved blocks give form to the theme of the storm as an elemental force. Nearby stands another sculpture by the same author, Vodopád (Waterfall).
Czech sculptor and illustrator Ivan Jilemnický (1944–2012) carved Storm from sandstone in 1993, though some sources give 1982 as the year of origin. The sculpture was installed on the meadow of Ivan Jilemnický Park in Strašnice on 26 June 1997. A second work by the same author, Vodopád (Waterfall), stands nearby.
The sculpture stands on the lawn of Ivan Jilemnický Park in Strašnice, Prague 10, and is freely accessible all year round. Nearby stands another sculpture by the same author, Vodopád (Waterfall), so both can be seen on one walk.
The park also holds Vodopád (Waterfall), a sculpture by the same author, Ivan Jilemnický, standing near Storm. The two works by one hand can be compared side by side, and the pairing is easy to miss for visitors who stop at only one of them.
