Vjenceslav Richter

He was also known for his work in the fields of urbanism, sculpture, graphic arts, painting and stage design.

[1] In 1949, Richter graduated at the Department of Architecture of the Technical Faculty of the University of Zagreb under professor Zdenko Strižić.

[2][3] He was one of the founding members of the Exat 51 group whose active members between 1950 and 1956 were the architects Bernardo Bernardi, Zdravko Bregovac, Božidar Rašica and Vladimir Zaharović, and the painters Vlado Kristl, Ivan Picelj and Aleksandar Srnec.

From 1962 he began to explore the medium of sculpture, which resulted in the Reliefmeter series among many other works of art.

The second triennial was not held until four years later, and was equally unsuccessful in its aim of popularising modernist design.
