The Hungarian Applied Arts Association’s exhibition in Szeged, 1901

On 8 September 1901, the Applied Arts Association opened an exhibition of applied art in the Palace of Culture in Szeged, its first outside Budapest. In a well laid-out, cultivated arrangement of diverse groups in five halls, a committee delegated by the Association, in collaboration with the Szeged Art Association, displayed the cream of the work by Hungarian applied artists over the preceding two years. Interiors presented the current state of turn-of-the-century Hungarian applied arts, and the staircase of the Palace of Culture accommodated a collection of designs by the School of Applied Arts that had been shown at the Paris exhibition. The artists whose work was exhibited included Ede Toroczkai Wigand, József Nagy, Lefkovits és Associates (Budapest), Károly Rainer, Ödön Faragó, Adolf Zwickl, István Sovánka, Jakab Rapoport (Rappaport), Oszkár Tarján Huber, Lajos Marton and Son (Pozsony), J. Bernstein and Son (Budapest), Sarolta Kovalszky Wittmann, István Gróh, Sándor Nagy, Jenő Fischof and Gizella Greguss Mirkovszkyné.
