CZECHOSLOVAK tennis legend Jan Kukal has begun the new year very actively, but in the field of art, not sport.During the recent International Travel Fair at the large Incheba exhibition hall in Bratislava, he opened a new gallery - Art Gallery of Incheba Bratislava. Its first exhibition, which consists of two parts - Homage to Pablo Picasso and Returns - offers over a hundred paintings and forty sculptures created by Slovak and Czech artists. Other exhibits scheduled to take place there by the end of this year are in the preparation phase (see box at the end of this page).
