The exhibition of Tone
Kralj, presented in collaboration with the Božidar Jakac Gallery from
Kostanjevica na Krki, will be dedicated to this year’s double anniversary – the
125th anniversary of his birth and the 50th anniversary of the artist’s death.
Tone Kralj is one of the most recognizable Slovenian
visual artists, exceptional even by European standards, and is considered one
of the founders of Expressionism and New Objectivity in Slovenia. The
exhibition of representative Kralj paintings, sculptures, and works on paper,
mostly from the pre-war period, will also include new acquisitions of the
Božidar Jakac Gallery that have not been displayed to the public for decades,
as well as a selection of works from the collection of the National Gallery of
Slovenia. Among other highlights, after conservation work (by the Restoration
Centre of the IPCHS), the monumental work Salome (1931) will be on public view for the first time.
