ReturnStar in the Palm on My Hand
Inventory number: 7386
Title: Star in the Palm on My Hand
Date: 1980
Medium: Vintage silver prints
Image size: 10½ in (26.7 cm) high by 19¾ in (50.2 cm) wide
Description: Composite of six vintage silver prints. Signed and titled in pencil on the mount.
Illustrated: Marijan Molnar: Akcije i ambijenti, 2002, p. 34 (variant).
Notes: In his art, including installation, video, photography, and public actions, Marijan Molnar has probed personal identity and the relationship between art and politics. Between 1979 and 1983, when Croatia was still part of communist Yugoslavia, Molnar carried out one of his best known projects which he called For the Democratization of Art. Star in the Palm of My Hand confronts the same theme of artistic freedom. The hand painted with the red star, a potent symbol of communist ideology, rests on a book dryly entitled Yugoslavia: Geographic Overview, as well as on a woman’s abdomen and other backdrops.
