Mihai Olos, a prominent Romanian artist of the 1970s, left an indelible mark on the art world. With a diverse range of interests encompassing painting, sculpture, happenings, land art, and literature, Olos developed a cohesive conceptual system centered around modular morphologic structures, known as knots. This pursuit led him to his utopian project, the "universal city" of Olospolis.


To commemorate the remarkable legacy of Mihai Olos, this monograph has been published as a follow-up to the exhibition "The Ephemerist. A Mihai Olos Retrospective," organized by the National Museum of Contemporary Art - MNAC Bucharest in 2016. The publication serves as a comprehensive compilation of artworks, photographs from the artist's archive, which are being unveiled for the first time, alongside insightful essays that delve into the oeuvre and life of Mihai Olos.


Through his multidisciplinary approach, Olos challenged conventional boundaries and pushed the limits of artistic expression. His innovative use of knots, a recurring motif in his work, symbolized connectivity, unity, and the interconnectedness of all things. Olos's "universal city" of Olospolis, envisioned as a utopian community, embodied his vision of a harmonious and inclusive society.


This monograph offers a privileged glimpse into the world of Mihai Olos, showcasing his artistic brilliance and profound impact on the art scene. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and a valuable resource for art enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone seeking to explore the rich tapestry of contemporary art.
