ZSÓFI FAUR - Ráday GALLERY was founded as one of the first private galleries after the change of the regime in 1997. As a result of our long-term visual culture message, we are continuously working as a programme gallery in the same location for 12 years now.
Through strenous work and a consciuously set programme, we could avoid the mistakes of young galleries, and thus managed to become a persistent, genuine and trusted institution.
For more than a decade now, we give valuable advice and guidelines concerning the Hungarian art market, and thus managed to establish long-term co-operation and partnership with private collectors, corporate and institutional investors and sponsors.
Our aim is to make the art-loving public familiar with the visual messages, reflections and quality setting endeavor of contemporary international artists as well as Hungarian ones.
Since its establishment in one of Budapest’s highly visited pedestrian streets, the gallery played an important role in popularizing contemporary art. Due to the special location of the premises, it created a unique multinational sphere for the admirers of not only Hungarian but of international art too.
Throughout our work we represent quality setting artists and high quality art; we only deal with the artistic trading, canonization and international representation of recognized artists. Since the foundation of the gallery, due to the personal interest of the owner, it has placed special emphasis on the exhibition and the paralelling of contemporary Hungarian and international sculpture.
Besides this, the gallery deems it highly important to introduce important international artists to the Hungarian public, thus the gallery seeks to build partnership with foreign galleries and associates. Througout the years, the gallery successfully exhibited works from such great artists as Franco Adami, Alexandra de Lazareff, Moreno Pincas, Alfredo Barsuglia, Adam Bota, Bianca Regl.
By recognizing and trusting the affinity and originality of Hungarian artists, Zsófia Faur has launched a uniquely independent, Hungarian and English language monography series that aimes at representing Hungarian art in an international environment.
Zsófi Faur – Ráday Gallery is the only one among contemporary art galleries that, besides running a programme gallery, launched a publishing and printing company in 2005. The gallery thus publishes monographs, essays and catalogues that could be found in the chain of Vince publishing, in the book store of bigger Hungarian museums, and in the Bookstore of Writers (Írók Boltja).
We are also proud to say that we are among the few galleries who employ nearly the greatest number of employees concerning the Hungarian contemporary art galleries.
