Gyula Pauer

Occupied with sculpture in the 60s, Gyula Pauer invented “Pseudo art” in 1970, which was acknowledged as a radical turn by contemporary criticism not only compared to his earlier work, but to the whole of Hungarian sculpture.

The cobblestone was one of the favourite themes of the period’s avant-garde artists, which nonetheless could not be exhibited publicly.

At the chapel in Balatonboglár, at the initiative of László Beke, a meeting and exhibition took place on 26–27 August 1972 with the participation of Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian artists.
