Statue The Horse

Probably the most photographed of Černý’s works is the dead Horse hanging from the Lucerna mall ceiling, just a few dozen yards from the iconic Statue of St Wenceslas by Myslbek, which it complements. Černý has his St Wenceslas sitting astride the horse’s belly. The dead horse hanging tied up by the hooves with his tongue out is a highly popular tourist draw.
