    Symposium After "The Second Public"

    Cordially we invite you to our symposium After "The Second Public” on the 6th and 7th of October. The symposium is part of the events celebrating the 20th anniversary of the KnollGalériaBudapest.

    The starting point of the symposium is the book „The Second Public – Art in Hungary in 20th Century“. It was published by Knoll Gallery in 1999/2000 and reviewed the tendencies of Hungarian art through the 20th century. This Symposium attempts to survey the last ten to twenty years, namely the time passed since the edition of the book.
    The lecturers on the symposium are local and foreign art historians and curators.
