Exhibition of Dogu Bankov at the National Art Museum in Kaunas, Lithuania
On 22 October 2010, an exhibition of the Bulgarian artist Dogu Bankov (1884-1970) was open in the Mykolas Žilinskas Art Gallery, which is a branch of the M. K. Ciurlionis National Art Museum in Kaunas, Lithuania. The exhibition was organised by the M. K. Ciurlionis National Art Museum through the Norwegian independent gallery Foundation 3.14 and its curator, Goran Ohldieck. The exhibition includes 152 works by Dogu Bankov. The M. K. Ciurlionis National Art Museum contains the largest permanent collection of Dogu Bankov’s works; some of his works are also kept in museums in Bulgaria and in other countries. A book about Dogu Bankov written by Goran Ohldieck will be published by the end of 2010 in Kaunas. In this way, thanks to the collecting and organising activities of the M. K. Ciurlionis National Art Museum and the gallery Foundation 3.14, the artworks and life story of the Bulgarian artist Dogu Bankov will be made understandable to the general public. The Embassy of Bulgaria in Vilnius is a partner to the exhibition.
