The exhibition can be seen in the National Gallery?s newly renovated ?A? Building from October 14.
The installation, which consists of 16 stone-like sheets in two rows, was to have been set up in the park adjacent to City Hall. However, Pauer?s assistant Endre Lehel Paksi conceded it was a mistake to ask the city?s deputy mayor for permission to use the site when it was already occupied by a marquee run by the Alliance of Free Democrats, a political party.
Pauer, who is a winner of the Kossuth Prize, Hungary?s highest award for artists, works in many different mediums. Visitors to Budapest may be familiar with his moving Holocaust memorial: 60 pairs of iron shoes standing empty on the bank of the Danube near Parliament.
Hungary?s central budget will provide support for some 50 art exhibitions to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1956 Revolution this year. Most of the exhibitions will open in the autumn.
