Relive the world of one of Croatia’s most famous politicians and artists from the Austro-Hungarian period, a man who dedicated his life to art and to

Croatian History Museum, Matoševa 9, phone 00385 1 485 19 00, [email protected], www.hismus.hr

Badurina’s focus is on museums; museum arte-facts to be precise. He presents 50 works with

digital editing and sound, he cuts/pastes, collages, and he uses pop art to present paradoxes in rela-

tion to the origins and symbolism of these arte-facts with his classic sense of humour and irony.

Half a century after her fi rst solo exhibition, Nives Kavurić-Kurtović, one of Croatia’s most prominent

theon of Croatian art and artists.

Vlahović was one artist who innately added engineering and technical aspects to his works

and was able to apply them, often transforming an idea into an industrially made object. See the best of Vlahović’s sculptures and drawings, all of

which venture from the fi gurative to the construc-tive phase.

When vision turns to reality, when layers of surface become three-dimensional, when colours sway

like poetry; Ehrlich was a unique Croatian painter as her fi rst works revealed a realistic signature but later she adopted a surreal like artistic expression

and a tendency towards abstract painting.

Alternative rock stalwarts from the 80s and 90s who ripped into the scene, then split, and in 2005

for the next step.
