Prékopa Ágnes (szerk.): Ars Decorativa 30. (Budapest, 2016)

Zsombor Jékely: The Museum of Applied Arts in 2013-15

4. View of the exhibition Bolder than Painting - Modern Commercial Posters in Hungary, 2014

photomontage proved to be very useful in posters. In the 1930s the art of the poster was enriched with new, emotional, associative and metaphoric elements and the number of picturesque and plastic solutions was also growing. But the generous simplicity facilitating quick reception and the appropriate picturesque idea imprinting the mind of the viewer remained unchanged.

The exhibition was reviewed in Vol. 21 (2014) of West 86th: A Journal of Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture, written by Dominic Paterson.

Luxury on the Table 21 June - 10 November 2014

Bridal beaker, asparagus server, and rabbit tureen - these are just some of the unfamiliar terms from the history of table setting and table decoration. The exhibition featured a number of rarely seen objects pulled from the collection, mainly stemming from the 18th and 19th centuries. Instead of the traditional display in showcases, an attempt was made to evoke the luxury of complete table settings from various periods.
