In memoriam — Edin Edo Numankadić (1948–2026)
S dubokom tugom opraštamo se od Edina Numankadića, jednog od osnivača kolekcije Ars Aevi, njenog dugogodišnjeg savjetnika i, prije svega, našeg dragog prijatelja.
Ars Aevi je rođena u plamenu — iz vjere da Sarajevo, čak i pod opsadom, može svijetu poslati poruku umjetnosti umjesto poruke rata. Edin je bio jedan od onih koji su tu vjeru pretvorili u djelo. Njegova umjetnost dio je samog srca naše kolekcije, a njegov duh dio je svega što Ars Aevi jeste.
“Umjetnost je život u Sarajevu, a život je umjetnost u Sarajevu” — zapisao je 1993. Cijeli svoj život bio je dokaz tih riječi.
Hvala ti, Edo — na umjetnosti, na vjeri i na prijateljstvu. Tvoje prisustvo ostaje u svakom djelu, u svakom prostoru i u samoj ideji Ars Aevi.
Počivaj u miru. 🕯️
In memoriam — Edin Edo Numankadić (1948–2026)
It is with deep sorrow that we say goodbye to Edin Numankadić, one of the founders of the Ars Aevi collection, its longtime advisor, and above all our dear friend.
Ars Aevi was born in flames — from the belief that Sarajevo, even under siege, could send the world a message of art instead of a message of war. Edin was one of those who turned that belief into reality.
His art is part of the very heart of our collection, and his spirit is part of everything Ars Aevi stands for.
“Art is life in Sarajevo, and life is art in Sarajevo,” he wrote in 1993. His whole life was proof of those words.
Thank you, Edo — for the art, for the faith, and for your friendship. Your presence remains in every work, in every space, and in the very idea of Ars Aevi.
Rest in peace. 🕯️
