Edited by Roberta Trapani. With an essay by Bernard Blist\u00e8ne. Texts by Cristina Acidini, Luca Macchi, Tamara Flori\u010di\u0107, Roberta Trapani, Pietro Nocita, Susanna Ragionieri, Michele Amedei, Roberta Serpolli, Pauline Goutain, D\u00e9borah Lehot-Couette, Katharine Conley, Kent Mitchell Minturn, Fabrice Flahutez<\/em><\/p>\n

The volume accompanies the exhibition \u201cSlavko Kopa\u010d. Il tesoro nascosto\u201d (Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, Florence). With an introduction by Bernard Blist\u00e8ne, honorary director of the Centre Pompidou and advocate of the acquisition of twelve of Kopa\u010d\u2019s works into the museum\u2019s collection, the book explores a multifaceted artist, deeply connected to Surrealism, Informal Art, and Art Brut.<\/p>\n

A key collaborator of Jean Dubuffet and the first curator of the Collection de l\u2019Art Brut, Kopa\u010d played a fundamental part in its promotion and configuration. His magical, totemic universe captivated the Surrealists and led to a collaboration with Andr\u00e9 Breton. At the same time, critic Michel Tapi\u00e9 included him in Un art autre (1952), recognising his originality within the Informal Art movement.<\/p>\n

He used painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, collage, and art books to explore materiality, intertwining reality and fantasy. The volume features contributions by leading international scholars and an extensive iconographic repertoire, including previously unpublished works and archival documents.<\/p>\n

Exhibition: Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, Florence, 12 September \u2013 13 November 2025<\/a><\/p>\n
