Igor Zabel 1958 - 2005






It is with a profound sense of sadness that we must announce the 
sudden passing of Igor Zabel, MA, senior curator and consultant at 
the Moderna galerija / Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana. The 
unexpected and very premature loss of our esteemed colleague and dear 
friend leaves behind an inconceivable void, a void that will be 
bitterly felt not only by our Museum, but more generally by Slovene 
and international art history and the numerous other fields Igor 
Zabel was active in as a philosopher, author, essayist, literary and 
art critic, translator, teacher of new generations of curators of 
contemporary art. In addition to his expertise and extreme 
versatility, we shall also sorely miss his humor, his broadness of 
spirit, his kindness and warmth.

We shall gather to honor his memory on August 9, at 8 p.m., at the 
opening of Territories, Identities, Nets—Slovene Art 1995–2005, the 
last exhibition in the trilogy of survey exhibitions he conceived, 
during the preparations for which the tragic accident occurred that 
led to his demise.
