Three Exhibitions, Three Perspectives, One Genius - Victor Vasarely and His Contemporaries in the City Park
The exhibition VASARELY DON’T GO HOME! – Construction, Grid Structure and Illusion in the Art of Vasarely and the Hungarian Neo-avant-garde at the Hungarian House of the Millennium – NEO Contemporary Art Space examines Vasarely’s influence in Hungary through the neo-avant-garde art of the 1960s and 1970s, exploring the concepts of construction, illusion and the grid structure. The legacy of the master of Op Art will be celebrated with a major exhibition series at various venues in Budapest to mark the 120th anniversary of Victor Vasarely’s birth: the Museum of Fine Arts, the Hungarian National Gallery and the NEO Contemporary Art Space will approach Vasarely’s oeuvre and its lasting impact from different perspectives at their respective exhibitions.
Neo contemporary art space
The mission of the NEO Contemporary Art Space is to become an exhibition space for the world's most significant contemporary artists in the Városliget, Budapest. If we are looking for an international parallel, perhaps the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens in London is closest to NEO’s mission: in terms of location, appearance and function.
