History
In the post war period the gallerist György Koller (1923–1996) founded the Association of Hungarian Engravers (“RMAK”)in 1953. In 1980, the first private gallery of Hungary was opened in the atelier-house of the Hungarian-Italian sculptor Amerigo Tot. From that time on the Koller Gallery presented not only graphic artists, but also sculptures and paintings. By 1984, an exhibition cum auction room was established in the Hungarian National Gallery, which is known to extend cooperation with Koller Gallery. Additionally, an exhibition room was opened in Sándor Petőfi street as well as in the Hilton Hotel in the Castle District. György Koller died in 1996.
In 2006, the grandson of György Koller became the managing director of the Koller Gallery. The aim of the gallery still is to represent Hungarian and international modern and contemporary art.
Represented artists
From the beginning, the gallery represented contemporary artists, especially engravers and graphical artists. The Koller Gallery also represents modern and contemporary sculptors and modern and contemporary painters. The gallery also offers art appraisals and services for art collectors.
