Abstract

The collection of Slovene graphic art is of high quality, as is the collection of art works from the post-war period to the 1960s and 1970s, when the visual arts flourished in Maribor and reached one of their peaks in works by Rudolf Kotnik and Slavko Tihec. This latter section presents paintings by Lajči Pandur, Jan Oeltjen and Maks Kavčič, and sculptures by Gabrijel Kolbič, Stojan Batič and Vlasta Zorko. The collection also includes paintings by members of the first generation of artists who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana and worked in Maribor (Oton Polak, Slavko Kores, Milan Vojsk and Janez Šibila). The following section presents the now middle-aged generation of Slovene painters. The 1970s are marked by Pop-art, New Realism and Conceptualism (Bogdan Čobal, Lojze Logar), with a focus on Zmago Jeraj, the central figure of the period. Work by painters from Prekmurje (France Mesarič, Zdenko Huzjan) and a presentation of the 'young' generation (Mirko Bratuša, Sandi Červek, Darko Golija, Oto Rimele, Andrej Brumen Čop) concludes the presentation of the collection.

In 1999 the gallery began its collection of Slovene video art known as the 'UGM Video Collection'.
