The Galimberti

The oeuvre of Sándor Galimberti and his wife, Valéria Dénes, has been scattered, lost and only a few more than 40 of their paintings remain in memorial. The earlier exhibitions of his life’s work failed to present it in its entirety. This time, we are aiming to present the complete known material and, in addition to the works of the two of them, Galimbert’s first wife will also be exhibiting her paintings, mainly related to Hungary.

For more than half a century, the Galimberts have been considered by art historians to be among the greatest modern Hungarian painters of the 20th century, yet they have not paid tribute to the Galimberts with a truly major exhibition. This time we are undertaking a two-site travelling exhibition. The first stop of the exhibition tour will be the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest from September 2024, followed by a slightly different concept in the Galimberti’s hometown, Kaposvár.
