Ivan Mestrovic Gallery

Blog entries, Gallery
The gallery, just outside Split, is housed in a villa originally designed by Mestrovic himself. It was built in 1931, and the artist lived and worked here until 1941. Ten years later he donated the property, together with 132 works of art, to the state, which now, through the Ivan Mestrovic Foundation, manages the gallery, [...]

the Zepter Gallery

Blog entries, Gallery
The Zepter Gallery in Belgrade was founded in 1994 by Mrs. Madlena Zepter, married to Philip Zetler, president of the Zepter International Group, a privately owned Swiss-based multinational company producing kitchen utensils. So now you now where the money comes from, Mrs. Zepter is a patron of the arts, as founder of a private Opera [...]

Gallery of Fine Arts

Blog entries, Gallery
This galley in Novi Sad houses the Gift Collection of Rajko Mamuzić, another collector who donated his collection to the state. Unlike the Pavel Beljanski Memorial Collection, which mostly represents first half 20th C works, this collection is more focussed on the second half of the 20th C, from 1960s onwards, when a post-war generation [...]

Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection

Blog entries, Gallery
In 1957 Pavle Beljanski, a Serbian diplomat and art collector, donated his collection of works by Yugoslav – mostly Serbian – artists to the government of Vojvodina, the semi-autonomous province in Serbia. The collection is probably the most complete in terms of Serbian paintings of the first half of the 20th C. The museum that [...]

‘Die Uberraschung’ in Museum No Hero, The Netherlands

Locations
The small, private museum No Hero, in the town of Delden in the east of The Netherlands, presented an interesting and thought-provoking exhibition from April 2023 to April 2024, of paintings – and some sculptures – from the former DDR. Called ‘Die Uberraschung’ – the Surprise -, it shows some 60 works by East German [...]

Afrika Museum – In Brilliant Light

Gallery
By the time you read this is, it is probably too late not only to go and see this exhibition, but also to go and see the Afrika Museum in Berg en Dal, near Nijmegen in The Netherlands. Through an unfortunate conflict between the owners of the museum and the organisation that exploits it, the [...]

the Cafesjian Centre of the Arts and the Tamanyan Sculpture Park

Blog entries, Gallery, Locations
One of the most characteristic elements of Yerevan is the Cascade, 500 steps of limestone, leading to the Monument commemorating 50 years of Soviet rule. With the collapse of the Soviet Union this project was never finished, and the Cascade deteriorated afterwards, until, in 2002, the Cafesjian Family Foundation, from a rich Armenian diaspora family, [...]

06. Danubiana

Blog entries, Gallery
What a fabulous modern art museum! After not the smoothest of starts, this trip, the Danubiana is the first thing that blows us away. Some 20 km outside Bratislava, on a small peninsula in the Danube, the Danubiana is perhaps one of the most exiting modern art museums of Europe. Established in 2000 by collaboration [...]

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection

Blog entries, Gallery
It is not only the classical Italian Renaissance art that is on offer in Venice’s rich museum land, there is also an extraordinary modern art collection. Peggy Guggenheim, heir to the Guggenheim fortune, spent her life not only acquiring husbands – she was married to Max Ernst for a while, amongst various others – but [...]

Galleria dell’Accademia, Venice

Blog entries, Gallery
The most important museum in Venice is, no doubt, the Galleria dell’Accademia, a monumental museum with an incredibly rich collection of Italian Renaissance paintings, starting in the 14th Century. As I mentioned earlier, being predominantly interested in 19th and 20th Century modern art, I didn’t expect to be impressed much with Italian Renaissance art, but [...]
