19th Exhibition in the Graphic Cabinet of Bogdan Borčić

Opening: 8 February 2025 at 11am

As part of the 19th exhibition in the Graphic Cabinet of Bogdan Borčić, the works of two great artists and masters of printmaking, Bogdan Borčić and Johnny Friedlaender, are placed in dialogue. Friedlaender had a significant influence on Borčić in the late 1950s, during the formative years of his artistic career. Friedlaender lived and worked in Paris, where he ran an open printmaking studio that served as a production and educational platform. Artists from all over the world – including some important artists from Slovenia – visited his studio in order to improve their technical mastery of graphic techniques.
