Abstract Hungary

The catalog was published on the occasion of the group exhibition Abstract Hungary (6.24.2017 – 9.7.2017) and the solo exhibition Ábstract Hungary (6.19.2019 – 9.5.2019) at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien.

This extensive publication is dedicated to the Hungary’s art scene since the 1960s, and especially of its ​“abstract artists” and its penchant for abstraction when it comes to complex social conditions, a drive to effect change, and a resilience of analysis and representation. The abstracted visual language of Hungarian artists has been thematized by the Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien in the exhibition Ábstract Hungary by Ákos Ezer, a painter who thematically processes the present-day reality in his home country. Already in the exhibition year 2017 the venue presented the group exhibition Abstract Hungary. A sweeping selection of twenty-four Hungarian artists who devoted themselves to methods of abstraction of varying dialogical nature.
