The Košice Modernism of the 1920s Exhibition forms part of a several-year project (2010-2014). At the beginning of the 20th Century, Košice became a significant centre of artistic life with an international dimension which was unparalleled at that time in Slovak conditions. Artistic activity was concentrated around the East Slovakia Museum. In 1921, the Museum established a graphics-drawing private school to which the beginnings of many renowned artists such as Koloman Sokol and Július Jakoby are related. The exhibition will include a monography called Košice Modernism of the 1920s. It maps the image of the day in terms of the Košice art scene in a wider context. The aim of the project is to present this exhibition abroad and promote this phenomenon of Slovak modern art in a wider European context. The collection of art pieces and documents will be concentrated in several Košice cultural institutions. The East Slovakia Gallery in Košice will introduce painting, graphics and sculptural works. The poster creations of the first half of the 20th Century will be shown in the East Slovakia Museum in Košice and period prints and typography will be presented in the areas of the State Scientific Library in Košice.
