Overview
Fragmentariu is an artwork produced in 1979 by the Romanian artist Mohanu Dan. The piece is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography, where it is displayed in a light‑colored wooden frame. The frame is covered with a beige fabric that bears a handwritten note and markings such as the number 509 and the letters A and CR.
Technique & Style
The visible portion of the work consists primarily of its mounting. The wooden frame, finished in a pale tone, supports a fabric backing of a neutral beige hue. Affixed to the fabric is a small slip of paper bearing faint, illegible handwriting, while the surface also carries alphanumeric markings that appear to be cataloguing references.
Context
Created by Mohanu Dan in the late 1970s, Fragmentariu reflects the artist’s practice during a period of experimentation with non‑representational forms. The 1979 date situates the work within the broader context of Eastern European art of the post‑modern era, when artists often engaged with conceptual and material concerns.
History & Provenance
Since its creation, the work has remained within institutional holdings, entering the Museum of Ethnography’s collection at an unspecified date. The presence of catalog numbers and identification marks on the frame suggests systematic documentation consistent with museum acquisition procedures.
