Since the beginning of the 1990s the Talum aluminium company in Kidričevo has been known as a significant patron of the contemporary fine arts in Slovenia, engaged in building up its own collection. With more than 450 art works of over 50 artists, the Talum Art Collection presently focuses on the art production of regional and national artists. The collection displays a post-modernistic character.

Profile

The first acquisitions of the Talum Art Collection established in 1991 were the results of artist colonies of local painters which gathered that year for the first time at Štatenberg Castle. After the artist colonies were discontinued in 2003, the collection has since continued collecting art in the form of acquisition by purchase. Faced with the 2008 economic crisis Talum has temporarily stopped investing in the collection with the hope to continue activity soon.

Artists

In the beginning the Talum Collection focused basically on collecting paintings from the artists connected with Ptuj and its surroundings (Dušan Fišer, Dušan Kirbiš, Tomaž Plavec, Viktor Rebernak). In 2002 photographers gathered in Ptuj and the pictures they took of the factory buildings at Kidričevo were added to the collection – such as the work of Stojan Kerbler, a great name in Slovene photography who was employed at the aluminium factory up to his retirement in 2000. Recently, acquisitions have started to focus more and more on national artists and additionally purchased graphics and sculptures. In 2008 the sculptures of the Slovene group Wild at Heart and graphics of Božidar Jakac and Riko Debenjak were acquired. The collection also comprises works of established Slovene artists like Irwin, Metka Kraševec, Jožef Muhovič, Janez Bernik, Andrej Jemec, etc.

Location

The collection is exhibited in the main building of Talum aluminium company in Kidričevo, which in 2005 was renovated by the architect Janko J. Zadravec, who kept all modernistic elements of the edifice built in the mid-1940s by the architect Danilo Fürst. The entrance hall of the building is known as the gallery of the Talum Art Collection, where usually the most recent acquisitions are on view. Other art works purchased by Talum have exceeded the basic intention of the collection – namely to enhance the working environment in the Kidričevo administration building.

In 2002, by strict selection and with an accompanying catalogue including a list of all the works gathered to date, the Talum Art collection was presented to the public in the Jakopič Gallery in Ljubljana.

+==Profile==
-In 1991 for the first time local painters gathered under the patronage of the factory's management at Štatenberg Castle, where they painted for a week in the romantic sounding of the baroque castle and its park. They persevered in the decaying building until 1999, when they arranged improvised studios in Ptuj castle. In 2002 the painters were replaced by photographers who gathered in Ptuj and among the factory objects in Kidričevo. In 2003 the organisers gave up the customary gathering at art colonies and passed over to a repurchase system.
