Slovenian term or phrase: ko se je druzbi poskusalo odtegniti umetnicka dela na materialnem nosilcu
Da so na račun tega kratkega obdobja, ko se je druzbi poskusalo odtegniti umetnicka dela na materialnem nosilcu, profitirali ob celi vrsti prihajajočih umetnikov tudi sami konceptualisti, se zdi v tej luči čisto prav.

I'd just like to understand what this means, so I'd welcome any explanation even if you can't think of an appropriate translation.
Thanks!

Explanation:
The fact that, due to this short period of time, when attempts were made to deprive the society of material works of art, the conceptualists themselves, along with many other rising artist, have profited, seems from this perspective quite just.

I know it's not a British English, but it should help you understand the meaning.

when attempts were made to appropriate from the company works of art created in a physical medium.


Explanation:
physical medium probably means oil on canvas,marble, stone, metal, paper, etc. etc., not, for example, a sound recording, a book, etc.
