Summary/Abstract: "The only good artists are dead artists.” The old maxim of Budapest art dealers seemed to have lost some of its ironic truth about a year ago when the first glitzy New York-style gallery opened in central Budapest between the river and Váci utca, the fashionable shopping street. The openings at this new gallery are equally popular with the over-age end of Hungarian yuppies and the egghead society—the little of it that remains from the good old days.
