Summary/Abstract: The article presents recent exhibitions of dada- and surrealism-related artists retrospectives of major artists like Victor Brauner and Dezső Korniss, and a retrospective of Hungarian surrealism. The novelty of these exhibitions lied in their contextualizing efforts: Dezső Korniss's works were presented in Budapest in parallel with everyday objects and visual representations situated outside the range of avantgarde art. Victor Brauner’s work was exhibited in a way that the events and the personal dimensions in the artist’s life got a strong focus. Hungarian surrealism was presented in Szentendre in its structure of interferences, highlighting the lesser known French contacts of Hungarian artists.
