Bogdanović by Bogdanović: Yugoslav Memorials through the Eyes of their Architect presents a collection of striking color photos of Yugoslav World War II memorials designed by the architect, writer, and professor Bogdan Bogdanović, who photographed his own work using a professional medium format-camera. The project is an extension of Vladimir Kulić’s previous research on Bogdanović funded by a 2014 Graham Foundation grant, which supported the digitization of Bogdanović‘s personal slide collection. The book will be published by The Museum of Modern Art in New York in conjunction with the forthcoming exhibition Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980. In addition to Bogdanović's photos, the book will feature a preface by Martino Stierli, an introductory essay situating the architect's work in the cultural context of postwar Yugoslavia, as well as excerpts from an unpublished interview conducted in 2005–06.
