Muzej Lah
Collection
The Lahs collaborated, among others, with Jill Silvermann, director of the Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery in Paris. Over three decades, they have built one of the most ambitious private collections in Slovenia, featuring international and Slovenian artists from the 20th and 21st centuries, including Anselm Kiefer, Joseph Beuys, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, William Kentridge, Zoran Mušič, Neue Slowenische Kunst, Anne Imhof, Robert Mapplethorpe, Theaster Gates, Duba Sambolec and Hito Steyerl.
Background
Some works from the collection were first presented in the TR3 private gallery (from 2007 onwards) in Ljubljana, located in one of the twin skyscrapers on Trg republike square, designed by Edvard Ravnikar in the 1970s. The TR3 Gallery was not a sales gallery but rather a precursor to a museum of contemporary art. Temporary exhibitions mainly featured works by renowned international artists, usually those already included in the collection.
