opening: Saturday, 20 June 2020, 19:00

curator: Andreja Borin

The exhibition displays a selection of works created by artists from former Yugoslavia. It presents a very diverse material that found its way to the collection of the Maribor Art Gallery (UGM Collection) in various ways: as purchases, bequests, donations, transfers of the then funds for culture, or as acquisitions from the Maribor Regional Museum. The selection of works is adapted to the small exhibition space. It covers the period from 1958 to 2003. While some of the exhibiting artists are internationally renowned (Edo Murtić, Miroslav Šutej, Vladimir Veličković) and others are known only locally, the works of both have been exhibited in the context of the UGM Collection only exceptionally, some of them are most likely even shown for the first time. The reason lies in the mission of the gallery, which primarily focuses on collecting, studying, exhibiting, and promoting Slovenian modern and contemporary art. The exhibition of lesser-known works from the collection is therefore always a great opportunity for new insights that may be of interest to the professional and general public.

Entry is free of charge during the Summer Museum Night program.
