Smith Action - New York - March 3rd 2010
Walter Steinacher is going to New York for revolutionary times!
This exhibition of paintings by Austrian artist Walter Steinacher
captures the post-communist nostalgia Steinacher observed during his
long-term residency in Slovenia. Most of the paintings on view are part
of a series that humorously addresses the image of (Josip Broz) Tito,

effect that led to the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the end of
socialism in the Balkan region.
