He called it BULGAR TIME. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1635879884074-TBYHRIVKTJI78FS11GN5/IMG_6104.JPG Bulgartime Viktor IV - bulgar time In 1978 VIKTOR became enthusiastically involved with the concept of time. He believed it was time to challenge the way we commonly perceive and understand time. The orignal wall clock has been sold out for decades. The wall clock - sold in our Artshop - is a copy of VIKTOR's original clock – with updated high quality clock work. All clocks are numbered and sold with a limited edition certificate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/640b71fc-bed5-44fe-bfc4-e2b0b13bc6d3/Logbogsblad+4 Bulgartime Viktor IV - Logbook pages After four energetic years and close to 600 paintings on heavy driftwood behind him, VIKTOR turned to paper so he could express more in words. He recorded his daily rutines and impressions of the world around him. Often simple stories with a wise man’s comments on his elementary existence. His handwriting is often intentionally difficult to read, whith sentences almost crossed out and messages fading into the artwork. The comments always express his genuinely positive attitude. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1635881121674-MAQ1R9NDFKAU8FARA6TP/IMG_4120+3.jpeg Bulgartime Viktor IV - Art In 1964 – at the age of 35 – VIKTOR found his ”Raison d’etre” and began a prolific flow of very personal work.

He named his works ikons – the Greek word for picture https://www.bulgartime.com/info-om-viktor daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1633192830899-EQWW0O245AKJ5VQVGD45/Viktor+IV+with+Cat About VIKTOR IV - ViKtor IV VIKTOR – whose real name was Walter Carl Glück, was born in New York City in 1929. His parents were first generation immigrants - his father was from Germany and his mother was greek. Walter – now Carl - was in his youth gifted with an unusually strong physique and abundant energy. He became a champion swimmer and later he travelled the world as a professional photographer. In the autumn of 1961 Carl came to Amsterdam, he bought an old cargo ship. He named the ship after the American philosopher Henry David Thoreau. Thoreaus message of simplicity and anti-materialism found a natural resonance in his character. In 1963 President Kennedy was assassinated and this event became a turn in Carls life – from that moment he considered himself an artist-painter and writer – and called himself VIKTOR. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1632072145985-VVBE7K6DJR4JX5KU7RL6/Viktor+IV+and+Ina About VIKTOR IV - Ina “If my relationship to VIKTOR is an affair – at least it is a long affair. He became the ‘significant other’ the moment I first saw him and his work in the late sixties, so he became my string to life. Still is.” We washed our simple clothes in the Amstel river as we did not have running water. VIKTOR only ate one meal a day – in the evening. In the summer it was most often a big bowl of salad with chicken or tuna fish. In the winter it was hot soup and bread. Table manners were so so. VIKTOR used a kitten as a napkin and it seemed to like it. Why do you live like this – people asked us. VIKTOR put it this way ”it is our normal, no big message to the world, just our way of life”. VIKTOR never married or had children – but he adored women – they were a source of inspiration… he always confirmed my value – called forward my strength and expressed it beautifully You make me real https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1632071653010-OC68FFON5ZUYN2E0OKM1/Viktor+IV+and+Ina About VIKTOR IV - enduring & becoming Ina: VIKTOR liked to give things, thrown away by other people, a new life in this world. Even if the outside facade was rather peculiar, we had such a high degree of freedom. In the early morning, Viktor always went for a bicycle ride on his iron horse to hunt for treasures from containers and things left on the street. He wore simple, comfortable black clothes, but never shoes, only when temperatures fell below zero. His philosophy was very simple – the only real obligation in life is to bring out your best. A man once asked VIKTOR: What are you doing? – to which he answered, “Oh I am only carrying Western culture,” and added modestly, after a pause, “I hope the others are not on vacation”. The last word is K*A*L*A At the end of June 1986 VIKTOR drowned whilst strengthening, under water, the base of a huge raft that was to carry his new studio for painting. On the sunny third of July 1986, his coffin placed on a raft, sailed down the Amstel river and attracted thousands of sympathizers both on the river banks, bridges and dozens of boats followed in honor. https://www.bulgartime.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1639061009705-FJZD78TXEUAY7KAN2DM5/sh_brun_TAM_2778kopier.jpg CONTACT - Sara sara@bulgartime.com https://www.bulgartime.com/news daily 0.75 2022-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1632077579299-1GLHN8U57JU91WA43MB1/IMG_5523.jpg NEWS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1632077659252-ARSLP85WQWSZDYWOML8I/IMG_5524.jpg NEWS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1632077745144-THDUBL46X9J7FLOB912T/IMG_5525.jpg NEWS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1647434350717-TK8MF1GCUT5677WJRF9K/IMG_5519.jpg NEWS - Watches Alique nus, tenis consequ atiuntin entus sandi sum que soluptusda nit qui doluptatius, si arum voloreresed quas re, nossitio dollorum am nosa quamenis quiam as por res idi bea quissi adit volupic aerero omni qui verrovid ut que nonsequam quam hilita sercienimus volore aperferi officiume dunt. https://www.bulgartime.com/art daily 0.75 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1632230044426-27OEMGR7Q7XQJH73CGRJ/IMG_5597.JPG VIKTOR IV ART - Art In 1964 – at the age of 35 – VIKTOR found his ”Raison d’etre” and began a prolific flow of very personal work.

There is no religious connotation, VIKTORS’s IKONS are images of everyday events, comments on life with humorous touches and twists, playful and serious at the same time. Instead of devine scenes and figures of the relgious icons, VIKTOR’s subject matter is always the sun and the earth and the rich paper-thin layer of human life in between. The hatches were dried and superficially cleaned. The remaining tar and oil affected the paint VIKTOR used; White became ivory and the colors tended to look old on the worn pieces of wood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1632228929329-K6HSPGFWNXQ983FU7E34/IMG_5595.jpg VIKTOR IV ART - Envelopes “Dear Elizabeth - If you live with an important artist you also live with a terrible man…” VIKTOR wrote many letters to Elizabeth/Ina before she moved to Amsterdam. Some of the envelopes were shown at a special exhibition at the Post Museum in 1998. Ina wrote the following on that occasion: “Personally, I stumbled into VIKTOR’s halo at a troubled period in my life. So he became my string to life. His letters became my elixir of life. And I was lucky I was able to respond, so the contact became valuable for him too. These colorful collage envelopes always contained small crazy messages - besides straws and rusty safety pins, etc. Through the many letters, I joined Viktor in spirit - and later in reality too. In “Storm and Still”, I took part in his joyful adventure. Many turbulent crazy wonderful years followed close by his side on the ship in Amsterdam. He confronted me with healthy demands: To my hands, mind and feeling. So he colored my whole life with his happy brushstrokes. And when he died, he left me a treasure trove of good memories that neither time nor rust nor water nor fire can destroy.” Ina Elisabeth Munck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1639070160172-YVFAKPW6FTTSA40606J4/Sk%C3%A6rmbillede+2021-11-30+kl.+12.21.36+copy.png VIKTOR IV ART - RUNES In the late 1970’s VIKTOR was inspired by the old Nordic alphabet. On heavy driftwood he painted countless humorous messages in simple clear colours. In his lively imagination he thought his writing was related to his own ancestors’ origins in remote areas in Eastern Europe. The letters I=T and X=G and b=w he found especially decorative and painted separately. Using them as simple pictograms for ‘going forward’, ‘stop’ and ‘making a detour’. As such he used them in planning signs on his worktable. In periods he also painted what he called measuring sticks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1632060570136-QCNSZ5TUP4UP2Z3WKVSD/timeisalwaya.jpg VIKTOR IV ART - WORDS VIKTOR spoke as he thought. Thought as he painted. Painted as he wrote. He never took anything for granted and took what he received with just as great an appetite as he gave - without reservation: IN GIVING DO IT TOTAL AND DON’T ASK ANYTHING BACK. The texts VIKTOR wrote are complex in all their simplicity… YOU CANNOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN SOMEWHERE ELSE… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1646828387212-VSAXWLMMOGX0Q2Q7QC1H/tempImage3YClFu.gif VIKTOR IV ART - Logbook Pages The logbook pages were VIKTOR’s way of recording his daily routines and impressions of the world around him. Often simple stories with comments on his elementary existence. His handwriting is often intentionally difficult to read, with sentences almost crossed out and messages fading into the artwork. A refined mix of drawings, watercolor and stamps - in this way he invites the reader to reflect on his own life and asks us to finish his work ourselves. All logbook pages have dates and often a number indicating the number of months since the date on which Viktor deemed himself to be an artist: April 4th 1964. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611674077ae9566f2389862c/1632231197909-FN6TEOM3S31DVKVW2EZP/IMG_5596.jpg VIKTOR IV ART -
