Spomenik Borisu Kidriču u Beogradu

About Spomenik Borisu Kidriču u Beogradu

The Monument to Boris Kidrič is a work by Serbian sculptor Nikola Koka Janković in the sculpture park of Belgrade’s Museum of Contemporary Art. It was installed in Knez Miloša Street in 1963 and moved to the museum’s park in 1997. The relocation places it within an outdoor art collection rather than its original central-city setting. Janković described the original commission as a three-metre-high sculpture that had to fit between two buildings, making its relationship to the surrounding architecture part of the design. His gallery also preserves a 1963 preparatory study for the monument: a patinated plaster sculpture measuring 90 by 27.5 by 32 centimetres. That small study and the full-size public monument illustrate two stages of the same commission. For visitors interested in Belgrade’s public sculpture, the work connects Janković’s portrait practice with the changing settings of twentieth-century monuments.
