Тенденции в медалната скулптура в България
Tendencies in Medal Art in Bulgaria

Summary/Abstract: The article presents medal art in Bulgaria from the mid-1970s until today. The article shows in retrospect the development of this art over the course of three decades and notes the authors who have contrib­uted most to this development. It defines the genre specifications while focusing on the medal as a work of art. Analyzing its essence in the context of medal all traditions, the article searches for stylistic and thematic trends during this period, drawing a parallel with the creative works from the “Medal Project 2006”. Although the project has an experimental and educational character, it could well bring about a new stage in the development of Bulgarian medal art, a stage defined by even greater libelly. The attached illustrations present a small part of the works of Bulgarian medal artists; how­ ever, they give an idea of the place of this art within the Bulgarian postmodern cultural environment.
