Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein GORGONA

In 1959, a number of painters, sculptors, an architect, art critics, and art theorists came together in the capital of Croatia Zagreb to found the GORGONA Group. Their shared aim was to establish a new aesthetic practice that differed from practices in socialist Yugoslavia, at the same time engaging in a dialogue with international avant-gardes. They did not develop a common »style«, instead the activities of the group, that disbanded in 1966, combined creative, processual, linguistic, and theoretical positions that referenced the tradition of Eastern European avant-gardes from the early 20th century while also examining the development of art in Western Europe before and after 1945. Their most well-known exponents today are Julije Knifer, Ivan Kožaric´, Mangelos, Ðuro Seder, and Josip Vaništa.
