About exhibition:
The Maribor Art Gallery is proud to present the first retrospective exhibition of photographic works of Zora Plešnar (1925), the most prominent Slovenian female photographer of the 1970s and 1980s. She joined the photographic club Fotoklub Maribor in 1968, and two years later − as the only woman − took part at the defining exhibition of the Maribor Circle photo group, which aspired towards avant-garde modernism. Surrounded by outstanding photographers (Ivan Dvoršak, Zmago Jeraj, Janko Jelnikar, Branimir Jerneić, Stojan Kerbler), Zora Plešnar established a sovereign artistic expression already in her first series of works entitled Passing. Within three decades of creative work, she enriched Slovenian photography with excellent black-and-white series Passing, Above the Clouds, Reflections, Celebration, Terelj, and Birth of a City / New Belgrade.

Participation on the guided tour is free with the payment of entrance fee.

KINDLY INVITED!
