Mihai Olos

Mihai Olos (1940 -2015) was one of the most prominent Romanian artists of the 1970s. Being interested in various media-painting, sculpture, happenings, Land Art, and even literature-he developed a coherent conceptual system of modular morphologic structures (knots), ultimately leading him to his utopian project, the "universal city" of Olospolis. This monographic album is published as a follow-up to the exhibition The Ephemerist. A Mihai Olos Retrospective, organized by the National Museum of Contemporary Art - MNAC Bucharest in 2016. The publication compiles a representative selection of artworks, photo - graphs from the artist's archive, which are being published for the first time, and essays on the oeuvre and life of Mihai Olos.
