The ERIKA DEAK Gallery was founded in 1998 with the primary aim of giving constant exhibition possibilities to Hungarian and international contemporary artist. The founder, Erika Deak, who has nearly ten years of art gallery experience in New York has wished to support the Hungarian contemporary fine art scene and to introduce it to the foreign public.

 

The list of the artist has changed a lot through the past eleven years. Painting owns the first place in the gallery’s profile, bu it works with videoartists and photographers as well. In the beginning it represented only young artists, but now we can see artworks from the middle and older generations too.The gallery generally holds 8 exhibitions per year out of which two are group exhibitions and the rest are the solo shows of the gallery’s artists.
The gallery constantly tries to maintain a good relationship with other institutions. Even the first exhibition, which introduced the works of Antoni Muntadas, was realised in cooperation with the Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art. Since then Erika Deák Gallery has worked on the co-promotion of artists with many other galleries. For example with the Voges Gallery from Frankfurt, Walderdorf Gallery from Cologne or the Dutch Ron Mandos Gallery.
The Erika Deak Gallery has gained an important position both in the Hungarian and the international art scene. It has participated in many international art fairs, its artists are listed in the most important Hungarian and foreign collections.

Artists represented: András Bernát, András Böröcz, Menno Aden, József Bullás, Eike, Tom Fabritius, Péter Hecker, Irwin, Tibor iski Kocsis, Clemenc Krauss, Éva Magyarosi, Zsuzsa Moizer, Muntadas, Gábor Pintér, Attila Szűcs, Alexander Tinei

Since its formation in 1988, DOVIN has taken a central role in the establishment of the local high-quality contemporary art trade as well as in its acknowledgement in international context. The value driving potential of the gallery is guaranteed by its persistent market presence for decades and the consistent realization of highly professional guidelines in its activity. DOVIN both manages established painters belonging to the middle generation along with young sculptors.

 

The exhibition program in the last decade has been lined up according to thematic and medium-specific aspects: in 2000 the gallery has changed for a profile targeted at painting in general and landscape painting in particular, closing the concept in 2008. The exhibition material has been selected on the basis of the landscape problem in this period. Theoretical lectures also accompanied this exhibition series between 2004 and 2007 in order to present the contemporary interpretations of the notion of landscape in a multidisciplinary manner. From the autumn 2008 Dovin iniciated a new stage focusing exclusively on the “new wave” figurative trends of the contemporary Hungarian sculpture (Gergő KOVÁCH, Barna PÉLI, Norbert KOTORMÁN, Karolina NAGY, Lili CSEH, Balázs DURONELLY). Dovin organizes 6 exhibitions per year, publishes catalogues, and regularly participates at national and international art fairs (ART FAIR BUDAPEST, ARTE LISBOA, ARCO MADRID, ART COLOGNE, ART PARIS).

Sculptors: Lili cseh, Balázs Duronelly, Norbert Kotormán, Gergő Kovách, Karolina Nagy, Barna Péli

The Zsófi Faur Gallery was founded in 1997, as one of the first Hungarian private galleries after the change of the regime. As a result of our long-term visual culture message, we have been continuously working as a programme gallery for 15 years.

 

The main goal of the gallery is the intensive representation of Hungarian contemporary art and photography at international art fairs – this year so far Art Paris 2012, Milan Image Art Fair and Fotofever, Brussels – and the integration of Hungarian artist into the international art scene, beside the establishment of contacts with foreign galleries.
Employing our professional printing background, which is unique in the contemporary art scene of the CEE region, the gallery publishes erudite publications and monographs about the latest developments and insights in contemporary art history in several languages.
The gallery is constantly in search of the latest international trends, as well as foreign artists of emerging significance (including Bianca Regl, Adam Bota, Alfredo Barsuglia, Adam Magyar), to introduce them to the domestic audience and to promote their work among Hungarian art collectors.

In addition to painting and sculpture, the Faur Zsófi Gallery has become an indispensable player on the contemporary photography market over the past several years.

The Faur Zsófi Gallery aspires to cultivate an extensive and dedicated audience attracted by important artworks on display in a vibrant, vital and contemplative environment. At the same time, the gallery intends to continue as a stimulating
and aesthetic agent of contemporary art, maintaining a pleasing “cultural space” to which our patrons happily return again and again.

The Gallery Gaudens Pedit was opened in 1983 in Vienna then moved to Lienz in 1987. One of the priorities of its programme is to introduce acknowledged Aurtsian artists such as Hans Staudacher, Eva Wagner or Gunter Damisch for whom the gallery organised exhibitions in 2011. These exhibitions were followed by the shows of Jakob Gasteiger, Alois Mosbacher and Hubert Scheibl.

 

Once a year it holds the ’DolomitenDomine’ exhibition and publication series representing artists from the the East- and South-Tyrolese Dolomit region, with the aim of communicating the interesting aspects of the fine art scene of the gallery’s neighbourhood. Gaudens Pedit represents young artists as well who are featured in art fairs and group exhibitions with acknowledged colleagues. The gallery lists artists such as Imre Bak, József Bartl, László Fehér, Károly Klimó, István Nádler, Nóra Soós and Tamás Trombitás. Since 1990 – when Gaudens Pedit started to build its collection consisting of Hungarian works – it has maintained close relationship with the Hungarian art scene.
With the participation in Art Market Budapest in 2011, the gallery holds a position based on a mutual information-exchange and shows the Austrian and Hungarian artworks of two different generations in contrast of each other. This concept dominated its appearance in the ARTplacc 2012 and Art Market Budapest 2012.

The Inda Gallery was founded in 2006 on the initiative of Ágnes Taller. In he first year, the program was defined by creative curatorial concepts. Later, the focus switched to the organisation of solo- and group exhibitions with the aim of selecting the most suitable cooperating artists for the gallery. Today, Inda works with a stable group of artists and its structure has become simpler. Next to the art director, the gallery is operated by a curator (Brigitta Muladi) and a communication manager (Ildikó Molnár).

 

At the start of the gallery’s life, it wished to explore the tendency of contemporary painting, but this aim changed already in the first year. Today, innovative techniques and tendencies are the key factors in selecting the artists. The main objective of the gallery is to create ideal conditions for a long-term cooperaton, this objective is supported by the organization of solo-exhibitions. The regularly realised projects and group exhibitions aim to dynamically widen and develop the group of artists. The cooperation with the artists, collectors, the public and the mutual thinking is vital for us. This is why we organize round tables, discussions, presentations and workshops in addition to the monthly exhibitions.

The Ani Molnár Gallery started its activity in November 2008.  It mainly deals with installations, paintings, architectural works, but it is open to other representations of methods and techniques of art. The gallery organizes solo and group exhibitions giving priority to curatorial concepts and considers the presentation of Eastern-European art as a matter of great importance. The works of artists represented by the gallery can be found in several public and prominent private collections as well as at public areas. The gallery aims to encourage the introduction and promotion of contemporary art to a wider public by the use of installations,  thus it organises exhibitions in public spaces. It organises a non-profit architectural and installational exhibitions in the Park Gallery set up by MOM Park since the fall of 2007, which project was awarded by the Summa Artium Prize. As the Ani Molnár Gallery gives high priority to promoting the integration of contemporary Hungarian art, it has always considered it necessary to establish good professional contacts abroad. Since 2010 it also represents its artists internationally, on the fairs Viennafair, Artissima, Contemporary Istanbul, Art13 London, among others.  In 2013 the Ani Molnár Gallery received the Innovation and Creativity Award founded by F.E.A.G.A. (Federation of European Art Galleries Association).

The Mono Gallery was opened in December 2006, connecting to the gallery district situated at the bottom of the Castle of Buda. Even in the beginning, its defined objective was to introduce young (Bálint Tirpák, Barna Benedek, Ágnes Verebics) as well as older (János Fajó, Katalin Hetey, István Haász) generation of artists. The gallery’s represented art genres are lyrical abstract, constructivism, figural painting and also other styles that are hard to precisely define.

Open-mindedness and a progressive attitude have been always the main characteristics of the gallery which results in more and more space for photography, video art and installations.
Mono is the main organiser of the ARTplacc festival which was first held in 2011 with the intention of providing a high-quality cultural entertainment at the Lake Balaton. The easy tone of the event aims to promote increased awareness of contemporary art.

The Gallery Nessim was founded in 2006 with the aim of representing the most outstanding Hungarian photographers on the highest possible level. They have organised more than 40 exhibitions in the past years in Budapest mainly of the works of Hungarian photographers. It’s also important to the gallery to follow the actual events and trends in the region that is why it has presented artworks from Czech, Sloven and Russian artists as well.

 

The gallery also aims to feature its artists on international art fairs. It has been invited to many prestigeous fairs in the recent years not only to Europe but also to countries like Turkey. The works of the artists represented by the gallery can be found in several private and public collections, from the Victoria and Albert Museum to the Musée d’Elysée, from Dubai even to San Fransisco.

Alongside with paintings, other forms of contemporary art are also introduced, such as animation, graphics, installation, photography and motion picture. The gallery mainly focuses on the fresh generation of  contemporary fine art, who are proud owners of several domestic and international fine art awards: Dobos Tamás (Best Documentary, Award of Film Critics 2013, The Best Cinematographer of Hungary,  Award of Journalists 2010); Csáki László (the grand prize of the Kecskemét Animation Film Festival 2013, Studio Prize 2009, Derkovits-scholarship); Hatházi László András (STRABAG creator’s award, Derkovits-scholarship), Horváth Dániel (Esterházy prize, Essl award, Derkovits-scholarship), Kostil Danila (ARC prizes). Artists belonging to the gallery have different views and styles, however,  they have similar ideas on the cultural meaning of their work. The challenge is to portray tendencies that display individual roads and phenomena that define the possible roads of the pictorial thinking and its values. The frequent visitors find the addition of progressive and classical expressional methods in the image of the gallery’s artists quite interesting.

The Várfok Gallery, as one of the first privately founded contemporary galleries in Hungary, has been tirelessly representing and promoting top quality contemporary art in Hungary and abroad too. The gallery, which has undergone several structural, organizational changes over the past decades, consists of a thoroughly re-built exhibition space of 200 m2; the ‘Project Room’, which can host smaller, more space-specific shows; and the Galéria19, an outdoor gallery open for 24 hours a day. Varfok Gallery welcomes those who are interested in contemporary art in Várfok Street.

 

Varfok Gallery collaborates with a closed group of artists including the older members of the Hungarian contemporary art scene (Nádler István, El Kazovszkij, Szirtes János, etc.) and younger ones (Levente Herman, László Győrffy etc) as well as established artists from abroad (Francoise Gilot, Martin C. Herbst) and from 2012 photographers too (Péter Korniss, Mátyás Misetics). The youngest generation within the gallery forms the ‘Spiritusz Szekcio’.
