Sava Sekulić
25.4.–18.7.2026
Sava Sekulić is born in Bilišane, a small village in the Kingdom of Dalmatia (now Croatia), in 1902. He is surrounded by meadows, forests, and lakes, and the sea is not far off. As a child, he tends livestock; he does not attend school. When he is ten, his father dies. Before passing away, he urges his son—whose special gift he perhaps senses—to teach himself to draw and write. For Sekulić, his father’s words are a guiding light that will stay with him until the end of his life.
The exhibition is kindly supported by Stadt Köln (Kulturamt).
