It is characteristic of Concrete art that these works do not depict the real world, but are based on the pictorial means of color, form, line, chiaroscuro, light and movement. In many cases, the artists make use of geometry or other mathematical methods in order to juxtapose the seen reality with their own, artistically autonomous one.
Since the museum was founded in 2002, the collection has been under the patronage of the respective Secretary General of the Council of Europe, since 2019 this is Marija Pejčinović Burić.[5] The collection is continuously being expanded. Current artistic trends as well as still missing artistic positions after 1945 are added.[4]
