Contemporaries: Collectors and Ar tists Opening Speech
If I understand correctly, the intention of this exhibition, the ideal case envisioned by the organizers, is to showcase the fact that contemporary collectors have high esteem for contemporary works by artists who are no less contemporary, and they strive to acquire them, adhering to the ancient Hungarian custom of sparing the state, preserver of Hungarian museums, the potential risky venture of spending taxpayer money on purchases that may not maintain their value. It is for having undertaken these risks that the names of Marcell Nemes, Ferenc Hatvany, Adolf Kohner, Mór Herzog, Pál Majovszky and others are spoken with gratitude, who embody the results illustrated by this exhibition (in short: generosity paired with a sense of quality).
2
I confess, I have an aversion to the widely used term “contemporary,” “kortárs” in Hungarian, grammatically a noun but often used as an adjective. If I can, I avoid it. This exhibition is clearly not an occasion on which I can enjoy that luxury. In Hungarian I can say of someone that he/she is my contemporary, your contemporary, his/her contemporary, but I cannot describe him/her or his/her work as ad notam “modern, moderner, most modern” for example “contemporary, more contemporary, most contemporary.” True, logically, this makes little sense in foreign languages in which the noun and adjective referring to concurrence do exist: contemporain and its relatives or the German zeitgenössisch from the noun Zeitgenosse. Perhaps the echo of the word “elvtárs,” meaning “comrade,” the salutation under communism, and the pair современный – современник in the Russian helped the Hungarian word gain ground. The use of the term contemporaneous, similarly expressing simultaneity, presents the same quandary. Slipshod use of language, such as what one finds in tourist brochures or journalistic texts, is often expressive of ebullience when the tourist comes across a “contemporary sight” or a play “recalls a contemporary milieu,” forgetting that this word signifies not merely obsoleteness but also a cultural historical context. It would therefore be prudent or polite at the very least to specify with what and with whom it is contemporary, or at least to reveal the century in question. To cite an example, the formula “from the Period of the Árpád Dynasty” does not mean that something is “contemporaneous with the Árpád Dynasty”! Perhaps this touches on a curious aspect of the Hungarian language, though I do not insist on calling it distinctly Hungarian. I caution my audience that I will continue to devote the following few minutes to philological explorations. Reflecting on our phrasing may provide us with some insights. As for what can be or is characterized as contemporary, it is essentially what in foreign languages is referred to with the adjectives contemporain or zeitgenössisch – the use of the noun as an adjective in Hungarian is justified in all probability by the demand for
3
word-for-word translation (and this compels us to adopt the parlance of international contemporaries). In this term, up-to-dateness, modernity and the commitment to progress are expressed: the imperative since Romanticism, among others Daumier and Baudelaire. (Il faut) être de son temps – in the familiar language of advertisements: “Move with the times” – incidentally full of substantival references to the people of the societies that surround us and the industrial products that clutter our material world. Without doubt you have seen Hrabal’s and Menzel’s Cutting It Short. I needn’t go into detail about the lessons of modernism, which abridges everything. It is more worthwhile to talk now of who is contemporary. At first glance, anyone who is our age. – It would be prudent to disregard the spatial connection (not unrelated to the temporal connection) that is expressed by the Latin phrase hic et nunc. Thus – again not entering into a discussion of marine biology – anyone who is a member of our generation (in Hungarian: “from the same spawn”), our equal in years, is our contemporary, and the substance of the term is determined by birth. Of course several generations coexist: in a wider sense we are all contemporaries, while with respect to the generation to which we belong, we are different. Since Dante (“Cimabue thought to hold the field in painting, and now Giotto hath the cry...”), it has been acknowledged that the opinion of the youngest generation – to continue with a clamorous proclamation of approval: the dernier cris – expresses what is topical, up-to-date, even epoch-making. Cimabue, who’s “name is eclipsed,” is only contemporaneous, in other words an entity of his own golden age. This is possibly one of the earliest, modernist registries of outdated modernness, the presence of the passé in chronological simultaneity. In any event, it is more tactful than the lines from a poem by Attila József entitled To a Poet, “idenyög a Dala-dög, az éveire mester,” which in English could be translated as “The songster corpse groans his corpus, master of but years.” I know what I’m talking about. Ladies and gentlemen, an emeritus stands before you,
4
whose “superannuated” attribute denotes a veteran, in other words an old, retired soldier. From the prosaic perspective, I also weigh the adjective “emptied,” which simultaneously implies the transfer of knowledge and inevitable exhaustion. Kodály praised the young poet Sándor Weöres for having concocted metaphors like “old thatch on life’s wagon, wax trickled down life’s candle” etc. “You have burned up!” – cries the chorus. These conflicts are, of course, hard to endure; the coexistence of generations requires mollification, regulation. Thus within suitable institutions that are regarded as schools or academies, older contemporaries are labelled masters while younger artists are referred to as pupils or even apprentices. These institutions elevate the laboriously devised compromises into traditions, ensuring their existence for a long time, and under fortuitous circumstances, contriving virtues out of necessities, give rise to national schools. In Hungarian the common root of the words nation and generation (“nemzet” and “nemzedék”) are clear, and both refer to birth. Not only are several generations present simultaneously on the art market’s counter, works which belong to different times are there too. The situation is further complicated by the fact that it is not only the currently valid and the already invalid which stand face to face with each other. There is a fondness for characterizing trends with terminology borrowed from water conservancy, such as current and mainstream. There are slower currents, some flow against the stream, and some stagnate in a gulf. They say that the backwaters are particularly rich with wildlife. But even among the phenomena labelled with the seeming unequivocal term “old” there is diversity in quality. Since the Renaissance, it has been customary to draw a distinction between, leaving the moderns aside for the moment, the simply outdated worthless and the even older Antiquities which are worthy of unconditional respect and imitation. The cult of modernity began at the end of the 17th century in the French Academy with its assertion of its own superiority to Antiquity (anciens). This is related to the idea that old works can also become topical, current, and not only for the all’antica movements, and can be a source of inspiration or a point of
5
reference for other innovative movements. It is common knowledge that Manet’s painterly style received immense encouragement from the example of Velázquez. Another famous example is the case of El Greco, whose art became relevant during Post-Impressionism and Expressionism. The bust of Nofretete arrived in Berlin from Tell el-Amarna at the height of the Jugendstil movement, and with the publicity that was given to it in 1923, it served as a well-timed example of a model to follow for art déco. And where is art déco now? – but the bust of Nofretete still stands strong. Let these familiar examples suffice to illustrate that what is referred to as contemporary art is not a simple assortment of X number of works, but a canon consisting of works of various origins and diverse ages, a canon that incorporates the reinterpreted past as well. The age of a work is not necessarily identical to the age of its creation and the age of its master; and the age of the greatest works is eternity. Their validity spans periods and can only be measured with regards to world history. One version of the thesis of the eternal validity of great works of art is Lajos Fülep’s reasoning in support of the enduring relevance of the works of Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka, which he expressed with the claim that his chefs-d’oeuvre are “as high as the highest peaks of the entire history of art, the cave paintings of Altamira, Lascaux and others, which can also only be described as magnificent.” Today we regard “the age of art” as a historical phenomenon which had a definite beginning in the modern age and which perforce must have a definite end as well – the debate is only about whether this end has already come or still awaits us. The question of age leads us to one of the deepest questions of our culture. Another question that awaits clarification remains: in what sense is an art collector and his/ her collection contemporary? Obviously both the person and the works are products and representatives of the age of art. Hans Belting, who coined the phrase “the age of art,” considered the time before the establishment of the modern concept of art to be “the age
6
of the image.” The collector and his/her collection obviously live according to a different concept of age than an art enthusiast who expects his/her immediate contemporaries to produce works that express his/her own thoughts and feelings. Collecting inevitably mediates between different periods. It regards the present as a process of historical times, the periods in their succession. It is in this succession that the future holds a place: the wise collector and the outstanding art historian who possesses exceptional faculties senses the artistic qualities that have a future. In this sense, the question of contemporaneity is connected to the meaning of the notion of eternity, mentioned earlier in connection with the peaks of art. Compared with this, in real life we must deal with unique deliberations. Is it true that everything that is labelled contemporary art began in the 19th century, or is it just an illusion due to the shortening of perspective? The answer is given: even the art critics of the first decades of the 20th century did not think so, especially after György Lukács in 1910 contended, “The paths have parted.” In the course of the 20th century, many saw here, in the period following the close of the 19th century, the roots of contemporary art, when for example they identified one of the central issues of the art world of the fin de siècle to be the Csontváry question or, when arranging a museum of contemporary art, they wished to begin the exhibition with the art of the Eight, a group of avant-garde artists who were active between 1909 and 1918. Is there a term, either objective or subjective, for an artistic age according to which the topicality of phenomena several centuries old or even older can be asserted? And what conclusions can be drawn from the fact that in the meantime we have entered well into the 21st century, in other words the 3rd millennium? Of the generations living today, which can be considered dominant – or in other words as epoch-making? From this perspective, the fact that only works that were created between 2010 and 2014 were included in this exhibition represents a radical and bold decision. From a historical perspective, they might not be age-fellows (contemporaries), only works
7
of art that were created at roughly the same time. But after all, is there a point to such a distinction within such an illuminating exhibition? This question is connected to the value judgement concerning the future, and this value judgement is open to the connoisseurs: the collectors, the critics and the museum curators. In a best-case scenario, of course. And here we have come to the end of the painstaking philological examination, for which there is also a good word in German, Beckmesserei, a reference to the Mastersingers of Nurenberg. In the words of Goethe’s Mephisto: “All theory is grey, my friend. But forever green is the tree of life.” – Here an exhibition opens, and it invites viewers to venture answers to the questions raised above.

Contemporaries: Collectors and Ar tists – Hungarian and International Ar t from Private Collections in Hungary, 2010–2014
The acquisition of contemporary works of art by private individuals and the private collections that are created as a result of these initiatives can be seen as complex economic and social undertakings. From an economic perspective, the use of private capital to create and build collections – in the case of contemporary works – is currently undergoing a multifaceted transformation. From the perspective of the macro-economy and, within it, the art sector – primarily artists and commercial galleries – it emerges as a demand that invigorates the arts and inspires supply; from the perspective of the collector, it may prove a prudent investment or an undertaking with a risky outcome (either remunerative only in the long-term or, in a bad case scenario, never).
9
From the perspective of society as a whole, collectors and collections that are accessible to the public play a conducive role in stimulating the creation, selection and preservation of cultural-artistic products, and also help further familiarization with and recognition of these works. Due to the current protracted financial and societal crisis, it is particularly important to assume this economic and social role. Presently, in the midst of unfavourable circumstances in Hungary from the perspective of contemporary art, for-profit and nonprofit private initiatives share in the public duties by supporting the creation and promotion of works of art. Ideally, the activity of the collectors is inseparable from the work of public art institutions. The collaboration of these two complementary domains is inevitable – the current exhibition at the New Budapest Gallery is an example of one such partnership. The motif of personal involvement and investment, so often emphasized by collectors, also has a social implication: namely, it draws attention to the passionate interest in and appreciation of works of art and the acquaintances and often friendships that come into being between artists and collectors, who during the workweek are active in entirely different spheres of life. Our exhibition first and foremost calls attention to the indispensable economic roles and the valuable social roles played by collectors of contemporary art in Hungary. The considerations on which the selection was based therefore deviate from customary curatorial exhibitions. The works here have been chosen not to confirm some previously formulated theoretical issue. Rather – based on works strictly from the period between 2010 and 2014 – the exhibition seeks to produce a snapshot of the acquisitions of
10
contemporary works by collectors in Hungary. For the visitor, this snapshot will provide the outlines of various definitions of contemporary art that are inherent in each collection, while also illustrating the diversity of their orientations: whether it be an interest in Hungarian or international art or a preference for certain genres and mediums, not to mention the value judgements applied to the works of individual artists. We were not intent on influencing, by providing some kind of distinguished “external” perspective, the revealing picture with which we were presented – a picture already structured by the aforementioned factors – when viewing the Hungarian and international works created over the course of the last five years. Namely, we regard the aspect of investment and patronage as equally legitimate and of equal public interest; collections stylistically homogenous or divergent; collections concentrating exclusively on Hungarian or international contemporary art; adherence to or rejection of current trends; collections cultivated with the assistance of experts or collections based entirely on independent choices. When surveying works created between 2010 and 2014 that were made available to us, we strove to organize an exhibition of contemporary art that would simultaneously reflect the character and inherent connections of some of the collections, selecting in some cases uniquely characteristic pieces with which to demonstrate parallels and divergences, but also providing as comprehensive and informative picture of contemporary art as possible, including from the perspective of genres. Due to the disparate scale of acquisitions, the works selected for this exhibition are not displayed according to the individual collections, but rather are organized according to a logic suggested by the works themselves.
11
There are well-known, important collections which – much to our regret – are not represented in the exhibition: either the owners of the collections failed to respond to our inquiry or, for understandable reasons, they declined our request to participate. In some cases, a given collection did not include any works from the time frame. But it is also possible, of course, that there were significant collections that we failed to notice. This exhibition which consists of works found in 38 Hungarian private collections (for reasons mentioned above, by no means with any pretension of comprehensiveness) may be a point of departure or a source of inspiration for future curatorial exhibitions that wish to focus on certain specific issues or subjects. And, last but not least, the current exhibition may kindle interest in contemporary art and the establishment of new collections.
