It was presented to the City of Belgrade by the municipalities of Bjelovar and Vara\u017edin on the occasion of the 9th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in 1989. Created by the Croatian sculptor Ivan Saboli\u0107, the work was installed in Ta\u0161majdan Park the same year. It depicts a stylised female figure seated in a calm, contemplative pose, with her legs drawn together on a small wooden stool.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"571\" data-end=\"977\">The sculpture formed part of the Yugoslav Gift Gallery, a collection of artworks donated to Belgrade by cities and municipalities from across Yugoslavia in preparation for the Non-Aligned summit. These gifts were intended not only to represent the communities from which they came, but also to symbolise the values of cooperation, solidarity, and unity before both domestic and international audiences.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"979\" data-end=\"1396\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">At first glance, many visitors to Ta\u0161majdan Park interpret the sculpture as a bull. This impression is reinforced by the unusual shape of the stool on which the figure sits, as well as by the highly stylised forms characteristic of Saboli\u0107\u2019s sculptural language. In reality, however, the work represents a simplified female figure, shaped in accordance with traditional notions of women\u2019s roles and everyday life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2255.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30950 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2255-251x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2255-251x300.jpg 251w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2255-857x1024.jpg 857w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2255-768x917.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2255-42x50.jpg 42w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2255.jpg 957w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2251.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30949 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2251-261x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"261\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2251-261x300.jpg 261w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2251-890x1024.jpg 890w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2251-768x884.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2251-43x50.jpg 43w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_2251.jpg 934w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sculpture Woman Sitting bears witness to the connections between Croatia and Serbia, as well as to the broader ties that linked the Yugoslav republics in the late 1980s.
