English

MissionArt Gallery
 

The evening programme is the third one of its kind since several of the galleries in and around Falk Miksa u. decided to make the evenings a tradition, four times a year, starting in August 2006.

 
The programme will start at 17:00, with the opening of three exhibitions: one of fe Lugossy's works from the 70s and 80s at the MissionArt Gallery, another of works by Krisztián Frey at the Násfa Gallery to mark the tenth anniversary of the artist's death, and an exhibition entitled Orient Expresses by Ernő Kunt at the Haas Gallery and Exhibition Space.
 
An exhibition of works by László Moholy-Nagy and André Kertész will open at the Erdész and Makláry Fine Arts Gallery at 19:00. At the same time, an exhibition of thematic works dealing with the end of winter will open at the Haas Modern Art Gallery. The eleven-year-old Zsigmond Gerlóczi, a prodigy of jazz improvisation, will play piano at the opening.
 
The Grencsó Bio Kollektív, which played at the previous two art collectors' evenings, will perform again, this time at Pintér Antik, at 21:00. The programme will run until 24:00, when the Neoneon art group's light painting at the corner of Markó and Falk Miksa u. is extinguished.
 
The Kieselbach Gallery and the Nagyházi Gallery, two of Hungary's best known galleries, promise art lovers "surprise exhibitions" on the evening of the 15th.
 
The first art collectors' evening attracted several thousand visitors. The second involved three times as many galleries as the first. And the third evening will involve the participation of 25 galleries.
