47th Porec Annale
When: 3rd August 2007 – 9th September 2007

Porec Annale is the oldest Croatian visual arts manifestation which was first held in 1961. The works on this exhibition are selected and thematically modelled by eminent Croatian historians of art and it is held in the Porec old town, in the premises of the historic building of the Istrian Parliament. From year to year the Annale exhibition brings us an overview of the contemporary art through the selected works of Croatian and international artists.

Art and City, Towards the minimum, Mediterranean and erotica… are only some of the subject themes from the Porec Annales held so far and among the authors who participated, we should definitely mention Andy Warhol, Joseph Beuyus, Dalibor Martinis, Dušan Džamonja… The main theme of this years’ Annale is “The artist of the pure sight”, while the selector is Antun Maracic, director of Dubrovnik Gallery.
