Memorial Sculpture and Architecture in Socialist Yugoslavia

The chapter is part of a scholarly catalog of the major survey exhibition "Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948-1980", held at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, from July 2018 until January 2019. The text offers a overview of the course of development of memorial production in socialist Yugoslavia in the context of European and global post-war Modernism. Several key examples and authors of monuments and memorial complexes are mentioned, while the central features of the innovative aspects of this production are further elaborated. The destruction and/or deterioration of some of the monuments in the post-socialist period is also discussed and interpreted as symptoms of anti-democratic and neo-fascist tendencies.
