Art Market Budapest opened! - PHOTOS

Art Market Budapest, central and eastern Europe’s leading international art fair, will this year present some 90 art galleries and exhibitors from 30 countries in four continents, the event’s founder told reporters on Wednesday.

“It means a lot to us that, for the first time, the Hungarian Fashion and Design Agency is our leading partner this year. And we have been in cooperation with the Palace of Arts for more than ten years in the framework of the festival celebrating [Franz] Liszt,” Attila Ledenyi told a press conference.

As part of the Art Photo Budapest fringe programme, a conference will be organised on Oct 19 marking the 130th anniversary of the birth of world-renowned Hungarian-born photographer Andre Kertesz. It will be addressed by American photo artist Roger Ballen and Lois Lammberhuber, the director of Austria’s Baden Photo Festival, who will recreate a couple of Kertesz’s iconic images in modern settings, using AI technology.

Art Market Budapest will be held between Oct 17 and 20 in Millenáris Park.
