The influential artist, writer, and teacher Josip Vaništa was a cofounder of the avantgarde Gorgona Group, a renowned collective of Yugoslav artists and thinkers who worked together from 1959 to 1966. Beside individual works in traditional techniques, the members proposed different concepts and forms of artistic communication; ran a gallery; and published the anti-magazine Gorgona. As a painter, Vaništa is mostly known for his idiosyncratic drawings, always on the verge of radical minimalism. He is also known for his conceptual paintings, consisting of a single grey or silver line on a white or black canvas. Vaništa’s work has been exhibited at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; MAMCO, Geneva; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Venice Biennale; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; National Gallery, Berlin; Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana; and many others. His work also features in many private and public collections.
