Fifty years ago two paradigmatic events of the Hungarian art scene, Iparterv I (1968) and Iparterv II (1969) were organized. These contemporary group exhibitions were on view only for a few days, because of communist censorship and the pressure of a strict cultural policy. Young artists secretly displayed their works in the era’s popular genres, imported from the Western world, such as pop art, arte povera, informel, hard edge and conceptualism.
Honouring the anniversary, Ludwig Museum invited the former organisers and exhibiting artists to revoke the heritage of Iparterv, as well as exhibit their new pieces that were made after being freed from under censorship.
