"After some intensive research I have taken up the issue of movement as well as the conceptual and factual effects of displacement. It meant a heuristic experience to me that everything was in flux, nothing was permanent, everything was dynamic and one could become part of that." – stated Dóra Maurer, who has emerged as one of East-Central Europe's most self-disciplined but profoundly experimental artists. Vintage Galéria's solo presentation displays works resulted from her artistic practice organized across all media, including process-based prints, experimental drawings, conceptual photographic series and system-based paintings created between 1973 and 2016.
Dóra Maurer (1937) is a significant figure of international and Hungarian art history. From 1968, as a Hungarian-Austrian dual citizen Maurer fostered the development of the international network of relations of the Hungarian neo-avantgarde. Alongside her activity as an organiser in the art scene, her engagement in art pedagogy is also remarkable. From the 1970s, she has regularly shown her works at significant international exhibitions. In recent years, Maurer has taken part in group exhibitions held at Centre Pompidou, Paris (Promises of the Past, 2011), The Art Institute of Chicago (Light Years: Conceptual Art and the Photograph, 1964–1977, 2011), MoMA, New York (Transmissions: Art in Eastern Europe and Latin America 1960 – 1980, 2015) and the Tate Modern, London (Performing for the Camera, 2016), where her solo show was on view from 2019 to 2021. Maurer's latest retrospective exhibition titled So Sehen und Anders Sehen was organised at Kunsthalle Bielefeld in 2022, her works can be found in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago (Chicago), Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art (Budapest), Hungarian National Gallery – Museum of Fine Arts (Budapest), Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Museum of Modern Art (New York) and Tate Modern (London), among others.
