Eva Pilar is known to have been a versatile artist. She loved not only music, but also photography and creating photo images. She even organized one exhibition after another and hoped to make it to a hundred. Unfortunately, she did not reach the desired finish line. However, the widower Jan Kolomazník wanted to help his late wife achieve her dream. In cooperation with Lesní ateliér Kuba prepared a special in Kersk exposure.
”She missed only three exhibitions during her rich artistic life. That is why Eva Pilarová’s husband, Jan Kolomazník, decided to organize these exhibitions and fulfill his wife’s wish,” the organizers said on the official website.
The exhibition is open to the public every day except Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is complemented by authentic dresses in which the queen of swing performed. The opening ceremony took place on Saturday, August 6, and there was also a musical performance by the singer Tomáš Ringel, whom Eva Pilarová “discovered” for the world of show business.
Eva Pilarová started singing in the 1950s. In 1960, she got a job at the Semafor Theater in Prague. In the 1960s, she also appeared in the film If there were a thousand clarinets. In addition to popular singing, she also devoted herself to jazz and swing. She became famous with hits such as Monty’s čardáš or a duet with Waldemar Matuška Tam za vodu v rakóška. She then sang the song It is dangerous to touch the stars with Karl Gott. It was the death of Gotta that reportedly made Pilar very sad, and her health began to deteriorate after that. She survived the singer by less than half a year.
