Description
Julije Knifer was one of the most influential and internationally acclaimed Croatian painters of the 20th Century. He was a cofounder of the avant-garde Gorgona Group, a renowned collective of Yugoslav artists and thinkers who worked together from 1959 to 1966. His artistic practice concentrated on the exploration of a single form – the meander, which he started in the late 1950s and developed into a fundamental interest of his artistic production. A meander can be understood as a refined geometric form, but it also speaks to the artist's exploration of absence and reduction, and of a meditative creative process that strives for perfection in execution.
Julije Knifer exhibited works at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; Haus der Kunst, Munich; National Gallery, Berlin; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Neue Galerie, Graz; Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; MACBA, Barcelona; MAMCO, Geneva; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Venice Biennale; Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb; and many others. His work is also featured in many private and public collections.
