O izložbi...

Izložba “15 minuta slave” realizovana je u saradnji sa galeri-
jom „Visconti Fine Art“ iz Ljubljane, čiji su osnivači Živa
Škodlar - Vujić i Lazar Vujić.
Postavku čine prepoznatljivi radovi Endija Vorhola, nastali
u periodu 60-ih godina prošlog vijeka, kada je pop art dosti-
gao vrhunac umjetničkog izražavanja. Sito štampa kao pre-
poznatljiva tehnika pop arta zastupljena je u većini radova.
Kontraverzni i uvijek zanimljivi Vorhol predstavljen je iko-
nografijom simbola pop arta Marilyn Monroe, Flowers,
Marta Graham, Ladies and Gentleman i Speedskater, rad
koji je produkt saradnje osnivača galerije Lazara Vujića i
samog Vorhola, a povodom edicije za potrebe ZOI u Sara-
jevu (1984). Riječ je o prepoznatljivim motivima pop arta.

The exhibit consists of Andy Warhol’s recognizable works
