With the “Collector as a curator and a selector” project, we want to affirm collecting and point out the collectors’ knowledge of choice of works of art. During the last couple of years, we have been privileged to make sure of the existence of the cultural treasure which mostly was unavailable both to the professional public, other collectors, and the audience. Within this project, we would like to share our experience and show top works of art originating from more than fifty collections which were available for us.

We selected artists on the basis of their presence in, at least, three representative collections. Due to extensive material, we focused on the authors who were creating from the late forties to the late eighties of the 20th century. In the text A Review of the Art Scene in Serbia, we reviewed also the artists who stepped into the art scene after 1990 because we believe in their work and think that they will soon find their place in many collections.

The “Collector as a curator and a selector” project is committed to all collectors, their love and passion for art, persistence and effort to preserve or expand their collections.To people who have developed true love for art which fulfills them and make them last.

We are honored to know them.
