Ion Bitzan (1924-1997) belongs to a Romanian generation of great talents, manifest in the brief period of détente (from around1962-1974), who developed a body of work that can be ascribed to international conceptualism and minimalism. His career was highlighted by participations in the most important international biennials of the time and his works are in the collections of prestigious institutions like the MoMA, Kunsthalle Hamburg, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
