EXHIBITION OF YOUNG HUNGARIAN PHOTOGRAPHERS OPENS IN NEW YORK SOHO

 

A group exhibition of eight Hungarian contemporary photographers has opened in the art centre of New York. The exhibition entitled Photo Couture features a selection of the artists’ works in fashion photography, one of the organisers told MTI. The week-long show has been organised to coincide with this year’s New York Fashion Week in the city, a capital of fashion, said Csenge Palotai, director of the Liszt Institute. Several of the artists are well-known fashion photographers with achievements in the international scene, she said.
Attila Ledényi, a co-organiser and founder of the Budapest Art Market and Art Photo shows, said that Hungary had a special bond with the art of photography built on the legacy of such renowned Hungarian artists as André Kertész, Robert Capa, László Moholy-Nagy and Brassai. The exhibition will be shown in Hungary at the Art Photo Budapest event between October 19 and 22, he said.
