About The LGB Group

The LGB Group is a group of (fictional) artists John Holten and Darko Dragičević assisted in bringing back into the public realm and helped re-align within the history of art. Its rough artistic outlook was one informed by a non-political engagement with the everyday, a neo-dada use of the readymade object and clear line of inspiration from the Nouveau Realistes of 1960s Paris. At its peak it had around 20 artists, some working as duos and one performance collective, Trupa Blokovi, with Imre Warmann acting as the chief curator and theorist of the group. It first started to exhibit in the Balkans in 1995 before moving across Europe, showing work in many venues. Its active agency as a group started to demise with the death of Warmann in 2006. The Readymades goes a way to telling how this process started, and indeed contains the definitive account of the group which is entitled ‘To Warmann’ and appears in full, annotated and with accompanying documentation in the book.
