The Nemes Galéria stand will feature such legendary artists as Mattis Teutsch János, known for his vibrant colours and forms, Batthyány Gyula, who combined grand elegance with theatricality, and the ever-popular Vaszary János. Visitors will also be able to see art by Aba-Novák Vilmos, as well as a work by Maurer Dóra, currently regarded as one of the most sought-after Hungarian artists in the world.
At the acb Galéria stand, the latest works by the painter Szarka Péter will make their debut. Bernabo Art Furniture is bringing to Balatonfüred a unique, collector-quality 1925 display cabinet by Kozma Lajos, as well as a rare American art deco seating set.
One of the most exciting highlights of the BÁV ART stand will be a Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller wristwatch worth HUF 5.3 million, which pays tribute to film director James Cameron's deep-sea expedition and documentary. Another remarkable piece is a silver brooch in the shape of an octopus, which catches the eye with its unique design.
Zsdral Art is presenting one of the most defining and also most valuable works of Fajó János's oeuvre: Cross I (Kereszt I.).
