Herr Frey Frei Exhibition, Ludwig Museum Budapest Until 20 March

• 9 Feb 2022 11:54 AM

Krisztián Frey (1929–1997) is one of the outstanding representatives of the Hungarian neo-avant-garde of the sixties and an early Swiss pioneer of international computer art. With this large-scale oeuvre exhibition, the museum is repaying an old debt.

As a member of the Iparterv generation, Frey appeared in the progressive art scene in the early 1960s with an abstract expressionist form of expression he developed.

His characteristic expressive abstraction combined with handwriting, called “a gesture painting of variable pace,” covered a wide aesthetic horizon, including white-burnt monochrome paintings, diary-like calligraphies of compulsive handwriting, and a world of stains, graffiti, and digital vectors.

Frey’s oeuvre unfolds in its entirety as it has never been seen before from a selection of works from prestigious museums and works lent by Hungarian and international private collectors, from early works unknown to the profession to masterpieces made in Hungary and Switzerland and to pioneering computer art experiments.

On display until 14 January 2024. Caring is a common experience for all of us, and it shapes our lives from the moment of birth until death. It can be interpreted on the personal level (self-care) or projected onto relationships between people (maternal or parental care, elderly care), but can also be extended to caring for nonhumans and, in a broader sense, for the Earth itself.

Idly looking around online for things of a cultural bent to do in the capital, I landed on the Müpa Budapest website and was struck by how many of the events were sold out, particularly as we’re talking pretty high culture.
