ART NEWS - ELIZABETH DEE HUNGARY EYES ADVANT GUARD
EXCERPT:Little-known history of the Hungarian avant-garde in the 1960s and ’70s will come in for new focus next month at Elizabeth Dee Gallery in New York. Opening May 2 and running through until August 12, (2017) “With the Eyes of Others: Hungarian Artists of the Sixties and Seventies” will feature more than 100 works by 30 artists in what organizers are calling the first show of such scale in the United States to survey art made in the oppressive authoritarian atmosphere of communist-era Hungary.
“If you were paying very close attention, which most people wouldn’t have been, these Hungarian artists have been beginning to be more noticed in recent years,” said András Szántó, the Hungarian-born, New York-based guest curator of the show. “I wouldn’t say it’s esoteric, but you need to have peripheral vision to have noticed.”
