History
The first acquisitions of the Talum Art Collection established in 1991 were the results of artist colonies of local painters gathered for the first time in 1991 for an artist colony at Štatenberg Castle. After the artist colonies were discontinued in 2003, the collection has since continued collecting art in the form of acquisition by purchase.
Location
The collection is exhibited in the main building of Talum Aluminium Company in Kidričevo, which in 2005 was renovated by the architect Janko J. Zadravec, who kept all modernistic elements of the edifice built in the mid-1940s by the architect Danilo Fürst. The entance hall of the building is known as the gallery of the Talum Art Collection, where usually the last acquisition are on the view. Others art works purchased by Talum exceeded the basic intention of the collection – namely to enable the working environment in the Kidričevo administration building.
In 2002, by strict selection and with an accompanying catalogue including a list of all the works gathered to date, the Talum Art collection was presented to the public in the Jakopič Gallery in Ljubljana.
Character
The Talum Collection was on the beginning focused basicily on the collecting of paintings from the artists connected with Ptuj and its surroundings (Dušan Fišer, Dušan Kirbiš, Tomaž Plavec, Viktor Rebernak). In 2002 photographers gathered in Ptuj and the pictures they took of the factory buildings at Kidričevo were added to the collection – like the work of Stojan Kerbler, a great name in Slovene photography who was employed at the aluminium factory up to his retirement in 2000. The acquisition of the recent time start to focuse more and more also on the national artists and additionally purchased graphics and sculpture. In 2008 the sculptures of the Slovene the group Wild in Heart and graphics i.e. of Božidar Jakac and Riko Debenjak were acquired. The collection comprehend also works of established Slovene artists like Irwin, Metka Kraševec, Jožef Muhovič, Janez Bernik, Andrej Jemec, etc.
Faced with the recent economic crisis Talum temporarily stopped investing in the collection with the hope to continue with activity soon.
