Since the 1970s, Dóra Maurer has been one of the dominant figures of Hungarian art. In addition to her creative work, she has been a major influence on her peers as an active and energetic organizer and, since 2003, a teacher.
This is the first time since the initial exhibitions of the Ludwig Museum in 1991 and the Museum of Contemporary Art in 1996 that the Museum’s own collection has been put in full focus: some three hundred of the five hundred items it holds will be on display on the three floors of the Museum.
