CZThe Minister of Culture, Otakar Klempíř, has canceled the selection process for the director of the National Gallery. Two of the three finalists withdrew from the competition, leaving only Olga Kotková, who was temporarily appointed as acting director. Klempíř announced the cancellation on Thursday, stating that the process would restart with a broader call for candidates, including potential international figures. He emphasized the need for a stronger international vision in the new director. Meanwhile, both withdrawn candidates expressed frustration with the process, with Aleš Seifert calling it 'exhausting' and Marcel Fiser expressing his desire to move on. The gallery has been without proper leadership since March, when Klempíř dismissed the previous director, Alicia Knast. Kotková confirmed the decision but stated they would not comment further at this time.
