Július Koller. U.F.O.-naut J.K.
Július Koller turned everyday life into art – and art into a symbol of resistance. With wit and irony, the artist questioned the rules of the authoritarian communist regime in Czechoslovakia.
Exhibition opening: 6.11.2025, 7-9 PM
The exhibition brings together central works by Koller from the Generali Foundation collection, including his legendary long-term work U.F.O.-naut J.K. (U.F.O.). For this, he created a symbolically charged self-portrait annually for over 35 years.
