An exhibition featuring winners of the prestigious Esterházy Art Award given to young Hungarian contemporary artists is on display in the Collegium Hungaricum cultural centre in Berlin, the centre said on Friday.

The exhibition entitled The Island of Luck – Best of Esterházy Art Award shows titles by six artists reflecting on how “we all became isolated as an island” during the long months of the coronavirus pandemic, it said in a statement.

• Incredible Hungary – it was part of the EU tender, so they put a gate leading nowhere on the wall

Their artworks are also an illustration of “the positive aspect of self-isolation during the pandemic’s last months and the prospects of happiness”, it said. The featured young artists include József Csató, Mira Dalma Makai, Imre Nagy, Márton Nemes, Péter Puklus and Kata Tranker.
