Budapest’s Virág Judit Gallery and Auction House packs November with art you can actually win. The powerhouse deals in 19th–21st-century Hungarian paintings and sculptures, plus historic and Art Nouveau Zsolnay and Géza Gorka ceramics. Expect sleek, thematic exhibitions and multiple auctions each year featuring classic and contemporary Hungarian highlights and prime Zsolnay pieces. Bidding is flexible: in person, by phone, via absentee bid, or on the gallery’s own online platform.
Exhibition: Timed Auction Highlights
November 4–21, daily 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Falk Miksa St. (Falk Miksa u.) 30, 1055 Budapest. After the printed catalogs closed, a wave of Zsolnay ceramics and contemporary paintings landed too late for the live-sale catalogs. Those works now anchor a timed online auction—and they’re on view alongside the live-auction lots in the gallery. There’s no printed catalog this round, but everything is published on the gallery’s site.
Timed Online Auction: How It Works
Sunday, November 23, 2025, starts at 6 p.m. The system is already taking bids, and advance online bidding is open until November 23. Once the auction kicks off, lots close in catalog order, one per minute. Classic overtime rules apply: if a bid is placed in the last 20 seconds, the clock extends by another 20 seconds, repeating until the dust settles. Each next lot opens right after the previous one closes.
This is the gallery’s pragmatic fix for strong late arrivals: curated viewing on-site, a clean digital catalog, and a tight, competitive online finish.
