DRAWING SURREALISM, THE MORGAN LIBRARY & MUSEUM

This Vane Bor photogram was reproduced in the publication Nemoguce (1930), one of the most celebrated and important documents of Serbian Surrealism. The brainchild of the poet and writer Marko Ristic, the publication featured an assemblage of Serbian and French Surrealist documents, images, poems, manifestos & rants. The Morgan Library & Museum displayed this work, plus many others, in their exhibition Drawing Surrealism. Works by Hans Bellmer, Dusan Matic, Ljubiša Jocić, Gerome Kamrowski and others were loaned by Ubu to this major Surrealist exhibition.

Founded in 1994, Ubu Gallery has presented almost 100 exhibitions of 20th Century avant-garde art, with an emphasis on the inter-war period of the 1920s-1930s, particularly the Dada, Surrealist, and Constructivist movements. Ubu exhibits paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, and ephemera (books, posters, graphic design, etc.) and, wherever possible, highlights the interrelationships among these art forms.

Ubu Gallery is a well-known presence on the international cultural scene and enjoys a worldwide reputation for its serious explorations of areas covered by few other galleries, including acclaimed survey exhibitions of Polish, Romanian and Czech avant-garde art. Ubu’s focus on the avant-garde, particularly on historically important artists and movements that have not received appropriate attention, has earned the gallery frequent reviews in press throughout the world focused on the visual arts. Ubu participates in the most important Parisian art fair, FIAC, held annually in the Grand Palais (2010-2016), and has participated significantly in Art Basel (2003–2011) and the encyclopedic Frieze Masters fair (2012–2015) showcasing the best of antiquities to modern art, in Regent's Park in London.
