Schedule
The genre-bending, socially critical works of Boris Lurie (1924-2008) and Wolf Vostell (1932-1998) are being shown together for the first time in Hungary. From the late 1950s onwards, both artists took a radical approach to the Holocaust, because of their personal involvement. At a time when the majority of society was trying to get over the memory of the war and the responsibility of the Germans as quickly as possible, the two artists experimented with a formal language that confronted their audience with this painful subject.
Ludwig Museum
The Ludwig Museum - Museum of Contemporary Art, located in Müpa, is the first museum in Hungary to exclusively collect contemporary art. In addition to a permanent exhibition of the collection donated by the Ludwigs and a number of temporary exhibitions, the museum aims to raise awareness of the works and their creators through special publications and a variety of art education and art education programmes.
