It is not just Czechs who are currently remembering Jan Palach’s radical
protest in January 1969 and the impact his sacrifice helped create. The

by a UK artist – created right after Palach’s death – installed at
his country’s historic embassy building in Prague. He explains the
background to the acquisition.
