Vision and Heritage: Founders of the Gallery of Contemporary Novi Sad Artists
The “Vision and Heritage” exhibition is dedicated to the artists who, in 1963, established the foundations of the first collection within the City Museum of Novi Sad to study contemporary art through museological principles. The display highlights the historical significance of twenty-one creators whose works formed the Gallery’s initial collection, bestowing upon them the status of its founders. Through this showcase, the Museum pays tribute to a generation whose artistic and pedagogical contributions fundamentally shaped the cultural identity of Novi Sad during the second half of the 20th century.
Today, the Local Heritage Gallery (Zavičajna galerija) preserves more than 3,900 works by over 200 artists. This exhibition offers a unique insight into the origins of institutional collecting and the preservation of fine and applied arts. Visitors are invited to explore the works of prominent individuals whose influence extended far beyond local borders, garnering international acclaim and establishing Novi Sad as a significant artistic centre.
Venue: Collection of Foreign Art
