The Virág Judit Gallery and Auction House anchors Budapest’s art calendar with a sharp focus on 19th–21st-century Hungarian paintings and sculptures, alongside historic and Art Nouveau Zsolnay pieces and ceramics by Géza Gorka. In its elegant spaces, themed, invitation-only-style exhibitions welcome visitors and collectors, while a series of annual auctions spotlights standout works from classic and contemporary Hungarian art and coveted Zsolnay ceramics. Bidding is possible in person, by phone, via absentee bids, and on the gallery’s own online platform.
Free Exhibition and Guided Tour
From November 26 to December 7, 2025, the gallery stages the exhibition of its 80th Winter Auction highlights in Budapest—free entry, open to all. A guided tour caps the run on December 7 at 16:00, offering a close look at star lots and fresh finds poised for the block.
The 80th Winter Auction
On December 8 at 18:00, the Virág Judit Gallery’s 80th Winter Auction takes over the Budapest Congress Center, inviting guests, collectors, and art lovers to a festive-season sale rich in quality. Expect works by the great masters of Hungarian classic and modern art, rare treasures, and new discoveries—first on the gallery walls, then under the hammer.
Timed Online Auction: How It Works
A second Timed Online Auction runs on December 17, 2025, starting at 18:00, with its exhibition at the gallery from November 26 to December 16 (closed December 8). Lots appear in catalog order, each with a 1-minute window. A bid in the final 20 seconds extends that lot by 20 seconds. Green means you’re leading; pink means you’ve been outbid; gray flags the last 10 seconds. You’ll get alerts when you take the lead or are outbid. The next lot starts only after the previous one closes, and any unsold lots reappear at the end for another shot at bidding. Budapest.
