Right from the beginnings, MissionArt Gallery has placed equal emphasis on contemporary and classical modern painting. Half of the 110 exhibitions held since 1990, the year of its foundation, introduced contemporary art, several of them realised in abroad. During the nearly three decades, in addition to the exhibitions, the activities of the Gallery resulted in more than 40 books, catalogues, as well as more than 300 newspaper articles, radio and TV reports reflecting to them. Following Miskolc and Budapest, the venues of the foreign exhibitions include Vienna, Berlin, Paris Munich, Los Angeles, Stuttgart, London, Ludwigshafen, Rome and Moscow among others, while the articles of the Hungarian press were followed by reviews in Die Zeit, the Los Angeles Times, the Süddeutsche Zeitung and the Financial Times, commenting on the now international organisations of MissionArt Gallery. At the art fairs of Berlin and Basel, they already exhibited as the Hungarian participants of international art trade. The art historian founders and owners of the Gallery are both legal experts, who were selected into the members of the Széchenyi Literary and Arts Academy in 2005. Based on the votes of journalists, MissionArt Gallery has won the exclusive prize of Gallery of the Year on two occasions. Managers and owners of the Gallery, László Jurecskó and Zsolt Kishonthy hope that activity contributes to making 20th century Hungarian and contemporary fine arts widely known and bringing art closer and closer to festivals and everydays of our lives. They believe that art trade, offering expertly selected works of art, is a border area between culture and economy that is capable of seeing spiritual and material values at the same time, managing to create harmony between the enjoyment of arts and the safety of “investors”.
