Beschreibung
The catalogue presents a comprehensive panorama of a two-decade period of Hungarian art that was hidden both from the international audience and from the art market in its own time. The most important artists of a generation who started their careers in the 1960s will be introduced. The book presents the historical context these artists worked in, including the politico-cultural conditions, the local artistic traditions, and the international inspirations and correspondences. The background unfolded in the essays come alive thanks to the interviews made by Hans Ulrich Obrist with 7 major artist figures - Imre Bak, György Jovánovics, Ilona Keserü, Katalin Ladik, Dóra Maurer, Vera Molnár and István Nádler - of the period.
