Summary/Abstract: Unsurprisingly, the growth of the art market in post-Communist Hungary has brought about a re-assessment of the body of Hungarian art. In the highly competitive world of art dealers, two individuals have distinguished themselves not only as outstanding dealers but also as art historians with a vision, ready to ferret out works from every hidden nook and cranny. They are Tamás Kieselbach of the Kieselbach Gallery and Judit Virág of the Mũ-Terem Gallery. Both operate in Falk Miksa Street, among several art and antique shops in downtown Budapest.[...] Modern Hungarian Painting 1892–1919. 639 pp. and appendices, 943 illustrations in colour. Modern Hungarian Painting 1919–1964. 839 pp, 1526 illustrations in colour. Edited by Tamás Kieselbach. Kieselbach Gallery, Budapest, 2003, 2004. The Hidden Treasures of Hungarian Painting. Selection from Hungarian Private Collections, Volume I. 1853–1919. Edited by Judit Virág & István Törő, Budapest, Mũ-Terem Gallery, 2004, 335 pp. with unpaginated illustrations in colour.
