Abstract
The article discusses the solo exhibition of Slovenian painter Ivana Kobilca (Ljubljana 1861 – Ljubljana 1926) held in Zagreb in early 1890. It aims towards a better understanding of how artworks were exhibited in Zagreb in the last quarter of the 19th century and to a greater appreciation of Kobilca, not only as an artist but as an ambitious and successful exhibiting artist as well. The introduction offers a brief overview of the broader context of the migration of artists working in Ljubljana and in Carniola towards Zagreb and Croatia, and goes on to present as concretely as possible the exhibition itself, the reasons behind it, and the responses to it.
