…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the early 1950s, at the time when Tito\u2019s Yugoslavia slowly started opening up to the influence of the West, Jacques Cousteau sailed into the bay of Palmi\u017eana on the islet of Sveti Klement in the Paklinski islands with his legendary ship called Calypso.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The famous French explorer of the sea and author of various documentaries came to this Adriatic island because word reached him that Juraj Toto Meneghello, \u201cthe greatest grouper fisherman from these lands\u201d and the pioneer of Yugoslavian elite tourism, lived there. Blown away by Palmi\u017eana, as well as Toto and his guests \u2013 among whom was the British Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Ernest Davies, who was taking time off after strenuous talks with Tito to enjoy the island with his family \u2013 the legendary Frenchman raved about his stay at Palmi\u017eana and introduced this island to the world in the book titled La chasse sous-marine published in 1954 by his associate Gilbert Doukan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around ten years after Cousteau\u2019s visit, a young woman from Zagreb called Dagmar Gebauer came to Palmi\u017eana. She, on the other hand, arrived at the island to write an article about it, but ended up living there: she fell in love with this fabled Dalmatian bay, but even more so with the charming Toto Meneghello. She soon became his wife…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the decades that followed, the Meneghellos created a truly exclusive heaven for tourists in the bay, and Dagmar brought her love for art to life by turning Palmi\u017eana into a sort of summer retreat for artists and an open-air gallery, amassing a valuable art collection along the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Dagmar Meneghello, an art collector, gallerist, donor, and former journalist, is now 80 years old. After having spent more than five decades on Palmi\u017eana, she returned to Zagreb a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 When I realised I had nothing more to offer to the island, that is, when I saw that I was too old to stay there, I returned \u2013 she tells me as we are sitting in her Zagreb apartment, on the ground floor of the most famous house on Tu\u0161kanac, where Bela and Miroslav Krle\u017ea used to live for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She settled into her new home after a long apartment hunt, but as soon as she came to Gvozd, she knew she was at the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 This apartment is stunning; it simply took my breath away. There are five rooms that are quite large, and I also got a basement and a garage where I can store my paintings \u2013 she remarked with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Villa Rein, a two-story house located at the very end of Krle\u017ea\u2019s Gvozd \u2013 built in 1928 according to the plans of the architect called Rudolf Lubynski \u2013 is a remarkable building in itself, but the ground-floor apartment that opens onto the forest park is particularly impressive. The only problem seems to be the 60+ steps one has to take to get from the street down to the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 But I said to myself, if Krle\u017ea could live a floor above mine, then I can live here as well \u2013 Mrs. Meneghello says, laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ceilings of her new home feature mouldings of discreet charm, overlooking the finger block parquet flooring, and the spacious room in which we are sitting, as well as three other equally impressive rooms, are filled with works of art from her collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The walls are adorned with works by Ivan Lesiak, Anja \u0160ev\u010dik, \u017deljko Jerman, Ivica Mal\u010di\u0107 and \u017deljko Hegedu\u0161i\u0107. Statues by seminal Croatian sculptors such as Belizar Bahori\u0107, Raul Goldoni and Milena Lah may be seen at every turn \u2013 all this as part of the exhibition called Na rubu1, dedicated to the artists who have been unfairly ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibition was organised in cooperation with the Zagreb Tourist Board as part of the Artupunktura project, and it represents a new practice of occasional opening of a private apartment to art lovers. Dagmar Meneghello is also the pioneer of this approach to events in Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Life on a secluded island is hard as it is, even for young people, but in addition to her need for better access to healthcare and other privileges of the 21st century, Dagmar was also driven to Zagreb by her desire to complete her artistic mission and find a permanent home for her collection, which contains nearly 4,000 paintings, drawings, sketches, statues, ceramics, and various other works of art by the most influential Croatian artists of the second half of the 20th century. – Over the course of 60 years, the collection has become an integral part of Croatian art, featuring very valuable early works by now renowned and well-known artists. The collection includes the works of 26 academics, five Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts award winners, and many other nationally and internationally renowned artists \u2013 she tells us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to keep the collection intact and accessible to the public and with the consent of her family, she brought the collection to the Dagmar Meneghello Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collection is her \u201cfourth child\u201d, as she says, emphasising that it is the collector\u2019s responsibility to the artists to display their works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 If you like an artist, then it\u2019s up to you to introduce them to the public, that is, to show that you are grateful for them, that you appreciate their work, and that you want other people to appreciate it as well \u2013 she continues, before moving on to her next point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Right now, I\u2019m in the midst of a bustling search for a permanent home for my collection. Despite my preference for Zagreb, the collection almost ended up in Samobor. I wanted to save a lovely manor in Samobor from ruin, a house that has fallen into disrepair after years of unsuccessful attempts at a sale and turn it into a rich museum of contemporary paintings and sculptures by seminal artists. I was up for financial cooperation, but the Municipality of Samobor wasn\u2019t interested\u2026 \u2013 says Meneghello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She emphasizes that none of this would have been possible without her late husband Toto Meneghello, of whom she still speaks with utmost respect and affection more than three decades after his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Toto would have celebrated his hundredth birthday this year. I owe that man everything I have. I fell head over heels for him as a young woman, so I was more than willing to leave everything behind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While living in Zagreb, which began to open up to the world in the late 1950s, she was a successful young journalist. She started working at Studentski list, a student publication, when she was 16, then moved on to work at Ve\u010dernji list, and made a name for herself in journalistic circles in the years that followed. The whole world was her oyster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 At the time, Zagreb was experiencing a renaissance. The borders were opened and the whole of Europe flocked to this city. The greatest actors, ballet dancers and world-class singers came to Zagreb; people gathered to listen to jazz… the entire world wanted to witness what life was like behind the Iron Curtain\u2013 Meneghello recounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet she left all of that behind in the name of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 You see, young people are so full of enthusiasm that they won\u2019t even hear of certain serious matters. Now I\u2019ve come to understand my mother very well: she warned me that she would hang herself at Ban Jela\u010di\u0107 Square if I married Toto and moved to that island for him \u2013 she says, laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside from falling in love, she discovered the \u201cMediterranean the way it used to be\u201d there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Just getting there was an uphill battle, and there was no electricity, running water or any other amenities; the only light came from gas lanterns used for fishing \u2013 she recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She would spend the entire winter bathing in the sea because it was warmer than the water from the tanker, and she often fantasised about running away, back to Zagreb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 It was just dreadful. Even the lighthouse keepers didn\u2019t have to live like that. You see, they were under the wing of the state to a certain extent, and we were completely on our own, a thorn in the side of the authorities \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Dagmar came to Palmi\u017eana in the mid-sixties, Toto Meneghello\u2019s efforts to run an elite tourist facility on the island did not exactly sit well with the local and national party officials. Originally from Venice, his family acquired 320 hectares of land on Sveti Klement in the early 19th century, accounting for almost three quarters of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1906, Toto\u2019s father Eugen started tourism activities in Palmi\u017eana: he opened a hotel and a restaurant and planted an arboretum with over a thousand species of plants from all continents, mostly from Mexico and South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Toto\u2019s father Eugen, who used to be a professor at the Dubrovnik Maritime Academy back in the day, received plants from all over the world as gifts from his former students who went on to become master mariners. Meanwhile, the prickly pears in Palmi\u017eana have gone wild and grown into trees, some up to seven meters high. We used to wall them off with bricks to protect them, and now we\u2019re the ones who have to brick up to protect ourselves from them \u2013 Dagmar laughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
World War II cut short the lucrative tourism activities in Palmi\u017eana, and the new communist regime seized most of the Meneghello family\u2019s land after the war. Eugen was literally driven to his grave by the new communist big guns from Hvar, and Toto \u2013 who was barely 22 years old at the time\u2013 carried on the family tourist tradition together with his mother, Ina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In lieu of the exclusive summer resort called the Palmi\u017eana Castle, they were granted permission to open a restaurant, i.e. a \u201ctavern\u201d; however, at the same time the communist authorities continued to pressure the family to sell the remaining portion of their property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 The new dignitaries were under the impression that they could easily force the remaining members of the impoverished family to surrender and withdraw from the devastated and largely confiscated property \u2013 says Meneghello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Toto openly stood up to the seemingly omnipotent Vladimir Bakari\u0107 and successfully defended his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 I believe it was Toto\u2019s extraordinary willpower and strength to fight for his beliefs and oppose the men in power that made me unable to resist him \u2013 she emphasises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite various obstacles along the way, tourists started coming back to Palmi\u017eana as time passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 They came to this little island ready for big adventures. Toto would pick them up with his sailboat, take them diving and fishing, and encourage them to indulge in the finest of the magnificent local cuisine. He made friends with them and they\u2019d end up coming back for years to come \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The evenings were reserved for sophisticated discussions on various topics, and Toto\u2019s mother would play the piano by candlelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with many other well-known and lesser-known guests, in the fifties and sixties they welcomed Orson Welles, Lavoslav Ru\u017ei\u010dka, Boris Papandopulo, Jagoda Bui\u0107 and many others, who\u2019d spent their summers in Palmi\u017eana. Even the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lujo Ton\u010di\u0107-Sorinj, who held the position of Secretary General of the Council of Europe from 1969 to 1974, returned to Palmi\u017eana with his family for twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They all knew that they could count on unforgettable experiences on the island, all thanks to the unforgettable Toto Meneghello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Toto took care of the summer residents of Palmi\u017eana during the summer, and in the winter, he studied and graduated in forestry and agriculture with the aim of preserving his centuries-old property \u2013 says his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
He maintained the entire facility almost single-handedly over many years, with just his mother\u2019s help, because private owners were prohibited from employing labour. He spoke five languages, but also fed pigs, sheep and goats. He made his own wine, extracted honey, grew vegetables and fruits, maintained the facilities and the magnificent arboretum. Up until his untimely death in 1985, Toto Meneghello was living his dream in his island paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when Dagmar first visited Palmi\u017eana in the mid-1960s, it did not strike her as an island paradise at all. Quite the contrary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Back in 1965, when I saw it for the first time, I didn\u2019t find it beautiful in the slightest.
It was a mess \u2013 savage and derelict. It was a diamond in the rough that needed proper attention. I had to get used to working really hard because we weren\u2019t allowed to have any workforce at all in the beginning\u2013 she recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, she adds that this was not even the biggest issue for her: she craved cultural events and art more than anything else in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 All in all, it didn\u2019t take long for me to grasp hard work is far simpler to deal with than a deep longing of the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dagmar fell in love with painting at an early age. She kept begging her mother to buy her a painting, and somehow she managed to get two replicas \u2013 Modigliani\u2019s \u201cAbstract Female Head\u201d and Degas\u2019 \u201cLittle Dancer of Fourteen Years\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 I have no clue how she got her hands on those, but I remember it took her four months to pay them off those because we were barely scraping by at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dagmar, on the other hand, was not very pleased with the replicas and made up her mind to start buying \u201creal\u201d works of art once she had the money for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 I actually hated those replicas; I wanted to have something original. As soon as I started making money as a young journalist, I\u2019d go and buy a few paintings here and there, especially from emerging artists. The first paintings I bought were three beautiful nudes by Ordan Petlevski \u2013 she tells us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, when she moved to Palmi\u017eana, her sole interaction with culture came down to reading books by candlelight. To overcome the cultural isolation of the island, she decided to open her home to young painters, sculptors, and other artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 I wanted to fight that isolation with art. One simply cannot stand the reclusion and the constant grind \u2013 living like that can drive a person mad. If you feed your body, but not your soul, your life becomes barbaric. That\u2019s what distinguishes us from animals. This need for growth, chasing our illusions, dreams, fantasies\u2026 it\u2019s a basic human necessity: it\u2019s what keeps us alive \u2013 she says with determination in her voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She managed to spread her passion to hundreds of artists and thousands of art lovers who visited Palmi\u017eana over the decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Sure enough, we didn\u2019t have many famous visitors in the beginning. Who in their right mind would come to an island without electricity and running water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I gathered young people who were just starting out and who could work there \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of the unknown Croatian artists of that time now play in the big leagues of our art scene: the list of guests at Palmi\u017eana could serve as a \u201cwho\u2019s who\u201d of the Croatian art scene of the second half of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The list of artists that visited the island and put on exhibitions includes Boris Bu\u0107an, Miroslav \u0160utej, Kosta Angeli Radovani, Vatroslav Kuli\u0161, Bane Milenkovi\u0107, Ivo \u0160ebalj, Boris Demur, Toni Franovi\u0107, Nives Kavuri\u0107 Kurtovi\u0107, Raul Goldoni, Ivan Lesiak, Kuzma Kova\u010di\u0107, \u017deljko Hegedu\u0161i\u0107, Belizar Bahori\u0107, Milena Lah, Anja \u0160ev\u010dik, Peru\u0161ko Bogdani\u0107, Ivica Mal\u010di\u0107, \u017deljko Jerman and many, many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Dagmar Meneghello, the most important thing was the \u201cartistic research\u201d she embarked on hand in hand with the artists with whom she shared \u201ca burning passion for art\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
4.1.1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the stimulating artistic environment, overall freedom and pristine nature, young artists were also eager to come to Palmi\u017eana because of the possibility of exhibiting paintings on the walls of the restaurant and statues among the trees of the arboretum, while yachts with hundreds of guests from all over the world docked in the Palmi\u017eana bay day after day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Needless to say, if you host young artists, you have to be aware of the fact that they\u2019re dead broke. So they came to Palmi\u017eana for work, and I\u2019d buy as much of their art as I could. That\u2019s how my collection started to grow \u2013 she says in a voice full of emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She goes on to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 My children would sometimes get angry with me, but you know, all collectors are kind of kooky. They\u2019re more than willing to endure financial hardships in order to get their hands on something they like later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked to describe her peculiar art collection, Meneghello answers without hesitation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 The Mediterranean is the major theme of my collection. It is the cradle of art, with its unique play of light, vivid colours, and a different way of life. The sea bewails the wild blue yonder\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the artwork in her collection was created in Palmi\u017eana, and the artists who are most represented are predominantly from Continental Croatia, specifically Zagreb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Even abstract artists would end up changing their artistic visions. When they came to the Mediterranean, it would simply flood them with inspiration; they were intoxicated by its lights, colours, fervour… I\u2019ve always had the utmost respect for the individuality of the artist, but I could never bring myself to approve of rigorous geometry for it doesn\u2019t suit either the Mediterranean or me \u2013 Meneghello tells us, emphasising that her collection is unique with regard to yet another aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 I know exactly when, where, and how 80 percent of the works from my collection were created \u2013 she claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dagmar Meneghello learned about art from the very best. As a very young girl living in Zagreb, she met Tonko Maroevi\u0107 and often went to the legendary Forum gallery at Vlado Bu\u017ean\u010di\u0107\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 I was friends with Tonko for 50 years, and Bu\u017ean\u010di\u0107 and Kruno Prijatelj frequently came to the island and offered me advice, or at the very least
encouraged me by assuring me that what I was doing was good: it helped me feel less isolated \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She points out that she had art colonies on the island with \u201cartists all the way from Canada to China\u201d, put on dozens of exhibitions and \u201cattended thousands of performances\u201d, as well as organised numerous concerts with classical musicians from all over the world thanks to the music enthusiast Dobrila Berkovi\u0107 Magdaleni\u0107, who founded the international summer music school UPBEAT as president of the Croatian branch of ESTA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every year, over 500 young musicians gathered to participate in various workshops led by renowned music teachers and performers from across the world. She was able to convince world-class musicians, whose concerts cost a pretty penny in state capitals all over the world, to perform for free on Hvar and Palmi\u017eana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Aside from that, Meneghello has always been an avid reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Perhaps it\u2019s no coincidence that I ended up in the exact same house where Krle\u017ea lived. I used to read his books when I was eighteen, and I still read them now, but from an entirely different perspective. As Borges says, all good books are open to different interpretations \u2013 Meneghello chuckles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, she believes that she has probably learned the most important artistic and life lessons from the artists themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Ferdinand Kulmer showed me that, despite having lost everything, one may always find peace in painting. Ivo \u0160ebalj, who did all of his work in a small room, taught me that you can be isolated and still accomplish a lot, and Nives Kavuri\u0107 Kurtovi\u0107, who was my best friend and favourite guest at Palmi\u017eana, taught me that you can transcend your suffering by turning it into art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also loved and admired the late and great Boris Bu\u0107an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 He was a true intellectual. You had to tread carefully when speaking with him. Although I was a few years older than him, he always made me feel like I was a student and he the professor. He really knew everything there was to know \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, she is more than proud to have put on his last exhibition at Krle\u017ea\u2019s Gvozd, as well as the expo of his latest posters in 2022, in addition to the one she set up in Palmi\u017eana back in 1983.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 That year, we affixed ten of Bu\u0107an\u2019s posters on plywood and placed them all around the forest. People who visited the island, which wasn\u2019t even on the maps, would come across these posters in the forest \u2013 she recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These works were considered outstanding posters at the time, and they are today considered high-quality pieces of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 You see, some things become clear with time. Time is our harshest critic \u2013 emphasises this fascinating woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should not come as a surprise if Dagmar Meneghello goes down in history of Croatian fine arts as one of the few most important, and certainly most peculiar, Croatian art collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meneghello, on the other hand, is not exactly pleased when the media compares her to the famous American heiress and collector Peggy Guggenheim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 How can they compare someone so filthy rich that they could buy anything they wanted to someone who had to fight tooth and claw for every painting? \u2013 Meneghello wonders aloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She occasionally came upon a painting she liked but could not afford to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Then I would have to step back, and the painting would end up in the hands of someone who didn\u2019t even appreciate it as much as I did, so it always infuriated me when people referred to me as the \u2018Croatian Peggy Guggenheim\u2019. Unlike her, I knew every single artist whose work enriched my collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We often held art fairs on the island, and many works of art staged at the Palmi\u017eana arboretum have vanished forever, destroyed by natural forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 I lost a lot of artworks due to my artists\u2019 proclivity to use nature as a studio. Ivana Popovi\u0107, for example, fashioned miniature female and angel figurines from wire and hung them from pine trees. I told her to take them down, but she insisted that these figurines should acquire their own patina with the aid of some gossamer and pine resin. Of course, they only lasted three years. It was wonderful, but now it\u2019s all ruined \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has never considered the potential museum worth that these works might have one day, and the concept never really crosses her mind to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 How much is my art collection worth? Just like Palmi\u017eana, it doesn\u2019t have a price tag because I don\u2019t intend on selling it. The only objects that need to be valued are those you actually want to sell \u2013 believes Dagmar Meneghello, this exceptional woman who was accompanied by unbridled optimism throughout her many adventurous years as an art collector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 I\u2019ve never been depressed. Had I been depressed, I would never have survived the life I chose. The most important thing for me now is to finally sort out my collection and find a permanent home for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
