Gábor Hunya's collection uniquely and consciously represents the political and artistic environment of the undefinable era of transition around 1989. The collection itself is becoming more refined and has more works that can add further shades to the eventful period in question. The youngest generation of Hungarian and Romanian artists, however, now think in more general terns than before, depending much less on local experiences. It will be exciting to see what Gábor Hunya's ever-renewing and organic construction will incorporate from the new phenomena of Eastern Europe. This bilingual edition includes English and Hungarian.
Eager to present their cultural assets, most nations in Eastern Europe, while ruled by foreign empires, were setting up museums from the 19th century on. With many of them attaining national sovereignty in the 20th century only, the museum expansion in this region has been taking new twists and turns to date. Much of this development has relied on private initiatives, even under Communism when defiant cohorts of the suppressed civil society helped art patronage survive. By spanning two-hundred years and integrating numerous case studies, this volume examines public institutions and private collections in their historical progress and in a coherent, unified approach, as equal pillars of national heritage as much as of contemporary art.
