At 103 years old, Tamás Lossonczy is one of the oldest living artists in the world. A leading figure of 20th-century Hungarian painting, Lossonczy continues to this day to create bold new works of art. Lossonczy has sustained extraordinary intensity and a relentless desire for experimentation since the early ‘30s. Throughout a career spanning more than seven decades, Lossonczy has witnessed historical traumas of Central Europe as well as the radical transformations of Hungarian culture and politics. An artist who has always avoided labels and categorization, Lossonczy’s work is marked by a diversity of media and methods: abstract and figurative paintings, prints and collages, sculptures and constructed objects.

The Hungarian Cultural Center is honored to have the opportunity to present Tamás Lossonczy’s first solo exhibition in New York. A selection of paintings from the private collection of George Soros, the exhibition demonstrates Soros’ longstanding admiration for the artist and invites the New York public to encounter the scope of Lossonczy’s pictorial work.
