Konceptia – Art Collection and Works of Július Koller

The Konceptia Collection is dedicated to conceptual art, focusing on the work of Július Koller and his contemporaries. The collection was established to preserve, present, and promote significant works of conceptual art from Slovakia.

About the Collection

The collection was founded in 2012 as a private initiative primarily focused on the works of Július Koller from the 1960s and 1970s – a period considered the peak of his artistic career. Over time, it has been expanded with works from later phases of his life, as well as by other artists, including Stano Filko. The collection is oriented toward art that is intellectually bold, experimental, and internationally relevant.
