"Koller - In the Wake of a Legend"

(Corvina Kiadó, 2013), written by Balázs Feledy 

This book is a remembrance, homage and tribute. All this is connected to one personality, György Koller (1923-1996), who after the Second Worldwar turned into an outstanding personality in the Hungarian art trade. 

Above all “The Koller” was not a gallery, rather the gallerist, György Koller, turned into an institution. With an astonishing vitality and inventiveness and in spite of the most difficult circumstances, he provided the artists with the opportunity to earn their living. Thanks to his charismatic personality the artists formed a community. His closest friends were István Szőnyi, Lajos Szalay, Miklós Borsos, János Kass and last but not least Amerigo Tot, Miklós Melocco and Imre Varga. The author of this book, Balázs Feledy, not only presents us parts of the history of art through the presentation of numerous correspondences between the artists, but also offers us an intriguing insight into the private history in the 20th century.
