The exhibition presents in short breaking modern civilization into life of Slovakian society after the coup d’état. It shows how modern art in Slovakia reflected “achievements” of modern civilization and how it together created overall visual of the time. There are presented not only traditional art techniques such as painting, drawing, plastic art but the accent is particularly put on a photographic material and artefacts of applied art. It presents photographic sets of Jaromír Funke, Miloš Dohány, Karel Plicka together with top avant garde works of Ľudovít Fulla, Mikuláš Galanda and applied art as well.

New Slovakia (SNG – Esterházyho palác )
We are presenting the monumental commission for the Iranian Shah in Teheran year 1977. Before the contract was unexpectedly terminated a year later due to the coup in Iran, Czechoslovakia managed to make great profit and the then Prime Minister Lubomír Štrougal acknowledged the economic contribution of Art Centrum, which was transferred in 1977 under the Federal Ministry of Foreign Trade and was thus saved from being closed down.
