While the 1996 exhibition concentrated on the “big classics” (Picasso and American Popart: Oldenburg, Warhol, Rauschenberg and Lichtenstein) and the art of the early 1990′s, this selection will premiére quite a few fresh works, with some remarkable projects from the museum’s earlier exhibitions (Judit Hersko, Gusztav Hamos-Katja Pratschke, Jaan Toomik, L. A. Raeven).
