Otvorena izložba "Slikarske minijature Slavana Vidovića“ u Galeriji umjetnina Split

The exhibition "Painting Miniatures by Slaven Vidović" opened on Saturday at the Split Art Gallery, presenting for the first time works from the previously unknown artistic oeuvre of Slaven Vidović, the son of painter Emanuel Vidović. Curated by Iris Slade, the show features eighty works on paper created during the 1920s, drawn from the legacy of Vidović's daughter Zjenja Čulić. Due to the fragility of the originals, high-quality prints are displayed instead. Vidović, a prominent physician and art collector, studied medicine in Prague from 1919 to 1926, where he developed a passion for capturing everyday life in working-class districts, night bars, and cafes, drawing on styles including Fauvism, Cubism, Dadaism, Expressionism, and Neorealism.

Almine Rech reopens in London with downsized gallery

International dealer Almine Rech is reopening in London with a downsized first-floor space in Mayfair, near Sotheby's on George Street, after closing her former London gallery in August and putting the UK business into voluntary liquidation.
