Bauhaus-Dessau Foundation Shows Best of Modern Hungarian Architecture

English

The exhibition, organised as part of ?Ungarischer Akzent?, the Hungarian Cultural Year in Germany, will take place in the Master?s House in Berlin. In addition to nearly 100 photographs, the exhibition will include original plans and models. It runs until December 10, 2006.

While many may be familiar with the names of Hungarian-born designers and architects such as Marcel Breuer, Pierre Vago and László Moholy-Nagy, or the photographers André Kertész, Brassai, and Lucien Hervé, few know of the contemporary Hungarian architects Farkas Molnár, Virgil Borbíró (Bierbauer) and Lajos Kozma, or the Hungarian photographers Zoltán Seidner, Tivadar Kozelka and Ernő Bánó, all of whom or represented in the exhibition.

Most of the photographs in the exhibition were first published in the prestigious Hungarian architecture journal Tér és Forma (Space and Form) between 1928 and 1948.

The exhibition has already travelled to Glasgow, Aix-en-Provence, Budapest, Helsinki and Rotterdam.
