Hi everyone, my dad bought this artwork in Zagreb, Croatia (former Yugoslavia) from a North Korean artist. He is quite sure it was in the mid-1970s. It was part of some “Non-Aligned Movement” exhibition or event. I would like to know more about the artwork, date, or any other details. I know there isn’t much information available about North Korean artists, but maybe he emigrated to South Korea, China, or elsewhere. Thanks a million:) submitted by /u/Remarkable-Young-246 |
