In Belgrade was inaugurated in the Spring of 1961 under the name of Modern Gallery. It was the first gallery in Belgrade with permanent exhibition activity and clearly defined conception. The Salon’s exhibition practice was at all times centered on younger artists and the latest tendencies in the art-world, as well as on presenting the work of prominent foreign artists. The concept behind the Salon of the MoCAB still revolves around presenting the most up-to-date currents in visual arts, most of all through solo exhibitions of contemporary artists, national and foreign, but also through organized presentations, panel discussions and lectures.
