MODEM - Modern and Contemporary Art Center, Messiahs, Western man and the idea of redemption in modern and contemporary visual art, 13.08.2009 - 31.12.2009
 

MODEM is organising an incomparably exciting exhibition this Summer as a result of such international cooperation that haven’t had a precedent before. Artworks are arriving from more than 80 institutions and collectors, the insurance value of the works exceeds the 100 milliard Hungarian Forints. The theme of the exhibition is such a question that has always been recurrent in art since romanticism: Can the world be redeemed? Such artworks can be seen in MODEM that give or try to give answer to this question, in the topic of messianism and redemption. Works of Picasso, Dalí, Kokoschka, Munch, Andy Warhol, Serrano, Bacon, Redon, Abramovic will be exhibited in Debrecen, but besides the international masterpieces there will be an exciting selection of Hungarian art from Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka to Judit Reigl.
