Ma­gyar Tu­riz­mus Rt., Ma­gyar Tu­risz­ti­kai Hi­va­tal Bu­da­pest Art Fair, the an­ti­que and con­tem­por­ary ex­hi­bit­ion, the most sig­ni­fi­cant do­m­es­tic event of arts, lo­o­king back to a pe­ri­od of 15 years du­ring which it gra­du­ally be­came a cul­t­u­ral event on the in­ter­na­ti­o­nal scene too, re­ne­wed last year in terms of both its name and pro­fi­le, will be or­ga­ni­zed in the Art Hall bet­ween 20 and 23 No­vem­ber 2008. Due to the succ­ess the con­tem­por­ary gal­le­ri­es achi­eved last year and in har­mony with the in­ter­na­ti­o­nal trend, this year the ex­hi­bit­ion will focus on con­tem­por­ary fine arts beyond the out­stand­ing works of clas­sic and mo­dern pain­ters. The se­venty fa­mous gal­le­ri­es – inc­lu­ding Gil­den’s Arts being pre­sent both in Tel-Aviv and Lon­don as well as Ga­le­rie le Mi­no­ta­u­re of Paris, sho­wing clas­sic and con­tem­por­ary works as well – are pre­pa­ring for the event to be held in late No­vem­ber with the crème of their coll­ec­tions. To gu­a­ran­tee the high level of the art fair, in ac­cor­dance with in­ter­na­ti­o­nal prac­ti­ce, a jury con­sisting of in­de­pen­dent ex­perts will re­view all the works on the basis of a sys­tem of cri­te­ria set for each ca­te­gory se­pa­rately and the pi­e­ces will be al­lo­wed in the ex­hi­bit­ion only with the con­sent of the com­mit­tee.

The ac­com­pa­ny­ing events of the Bu­da­pest Art Fair an­ti­que and con­tem­por­ary ex­hi­bit­ion and fair will inc­lu­de guided tours for gro­ups, an Art Ma­ga­zi­ne Forum on arts and the art mar­ket, the int­ro­duc­ti­on of new art his­to­ry books as well as film pro­jec­tions in the au­di­to­ri­um of the Gal­lery this year as well. Two new prog­rams that will att­ract many with all pro­ba­bi­lity will be in­vol­ved as no­vel­ti­es by the event: fol­lo­wing Lon­don and Stock­holm, Bu­da­pest will also enjoy “LI­FEG­AME”, a thea­ter per­for­mance based on imp­rovi­sati­on and an in­ter­ac­tive play house crea­ted for child­ren and the youth.
