Judit Reigl - Interview With Janos Gat

This book is based on 200 hours of recorded and edited conversations between Manhattan art gallery owner Janos Gat and Judit Reigl (1923-2020) during the last decade of the life of the artist. Its publication follows Reigl's receipt of the AWARE Outstanding Merit Prize in 2017, and it is the third volume of interviews with artists who also won the award. Reigl speaks about childhood in Hungary, her painting and her life in Paris, as well as formative years in Italy - the destination of many Hungarian intellectuals in the 1940s. It is a candid conversation with Gat, who is also from Hungary.
