Carpathians

Ciągną się przez blisko półtora tysiąca kilometrów przez terytoria ośmiu państw i zajmują powierzchnię pięciokrotnie większą niż Szwajcaria. Przez wieki dawały przestrzeń do rozwoju kultur i małych centrów świata Bojków, Łemków, Hucułów, Wołosów, Szeklerów czy siedmiogrodzkich Sasów. W swoim upartym bezruchu rzadko zważały na pomysły niedoskonałych kartografów – częściej łączyły niż dzieliły, a dziś pozostają idealnym puntem odniesienia do dyskusji o środkowoeuropejskim dziedzictwie. Karpaty, bo o nich mowa, są tematem najnowszego kwartalnika „Herito”.

Laco Teren – Nothing Will Stop Us

The exhibition of Laco Teren (born in 1960 in Bratislava) presents the key points of his artistic program and comprehensively captures his unique artistic and genuinely “versatile” personality. He was one of the leading figures of the post‑Modernist generation, which in the mid‑1980s appeared on the art scene with a program of Neo‑Expressionist painting inspired by the Italian trans‑avant‑garde and German Neue Wilde movement. »

“I am an artist of the world…” Philip de László (1869–1937)

This small but significant exhibition will mark the 150th anniversary of Philip de László’s birth in Budapest. Organised in collaboration with The de Laszlo Archive Trust, the display will show some 15 of the artist’s most distinguished international portraits. It is nearly 100 years since a solo exhibition of Philip de László’s work was held in Budapest, so this tribute is long overdue.  »

Alberto Giacometti

The retrospective presents the works by one of the major 20th‑century artists, sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966). His main theme was the human figure. He became well known for compelling elongated figures done after the Second World War, but no less important are his artworks from the interwar period, when he was a key member of the Paris avant‑garde. »
