Budapest's Makláry Gallery Shows at ARTPARIS

English

 The Grand Palais, Paris

 
Makláry is the only Hungarian gallery at this year's art fair. It will show work by Judit Reigl, Simon Hantai, Endre Rozsda, Kamill Major, Pál Kallos, Alfréd Réth and István Beöthy.
 
Reigl moved to France in 1950. Her first exhibition in France was organised with the assistance of the surrealist André Breton. Soon after, she departed from surrealism and started working with other mediums.
 
Many of her works are included in French private and public collections, including many works at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and a couple at the Tate Gallery in London. Her first exhibition in Hungary was at the Műcsarnok in 2005.
 
"She established a purely gesture-based painting, which in essence meant that there were no pre-planned moves, execution was fast and the artist worked in a ecstatic state," Makláry says of Reigl.
 
Major's paintings are on display in the Pompidou and the Musée d'Art in Paris.
