2015 Esztergom Rediscoveries Exhibition

In 2015 the Esztergomi Duna Múzeum showed a group of György Rauscher paintings that had resurfaced after being stored in a cellar in Bratislava (/bibliography#szamado-2019, p. 44).

What was shown

The rediscovered works included Halotti tor (Funeral Feast, 1927), the composition recorded as Csók and now titled Szerelmespár (Lovers, 1927), and Öltönyös férfi kaktusszal (Man in Suit with Cactus).

These were paintings known until then only from the 1935 estate catalogue, so the exhibition returned canvases to the located oeuvre for the first time in eighty years.

The finds, and the wider story of works re-emerging after 1935, are told at /rediscoveries; the individual records are at /works/halotti-tor-1927 and /works/szerelmespar-1927.
