The Erdész & Makláry Fine Arts Gallery will bring works by well known Hungarian artists such as Judit Reigl, Simon Hantai, Pál Kallos, Kamill Major, Vilmos Huszár, Jószef Csáky and István Beöthy.
Reigl, 86, moved to France in 1950. Reigl's 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," Erdész and Makláry say of Reigl.
Hantai, also a Hungarian painter who emigrated to France, died two years ago.
The 55th BRAFA, at Tour & Taxis, runs until January 31.
