Gyula Konkoly Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1941 -

Konkoly is an important Hungarian painter.

He studied at the Academy under the supervision of Gyula Hincz. In 1970, he went on a field trip to Italy, and then he moved to Paris. Later he worked in Sweden. He returned to Hungary in 1990.

As a student he joined László Lakner and Tibor Csernus’s group of Sur-Naturalist artists. He met with pop-art style in Vienna, which put a high influence on him. This influence is well visible on his works

He was a central figure of the underground Neo-Avant-Garde artist group, Iparterv, in the 1960s. He is one of the most important Hungarian Pop Art painters. He also made plastic objects, addressing provocative topics.

In the 1960s he designed movie posters that granted him good salary and opportunity to showcase his artistic ideas to the public, as posters were less strictly censored than paintings. In the second half of the 1960s, he designed Pop Art posters. Some of his works applied elements of abstract painting.

        My Fair Lady theatre poster

        Est: $500 - $700

        1966. Pop Art poster. My Fair Lady is a musical based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. The story concerns Eliza Doolittle, a Cockneyflower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, so that she may pass as a lady. The original Broadway, London and film versions all starred Rex Harrison. The musical's 1956 Broadway production was a momentous hit, setting a record for the longest run of any major musical theatre production in history. It was followed by a hit London production, a popular film version, and numerous revivals. It has been called 'the perfect musical'. (source: wikipedia.org). The vivid pink of the poster gives it a strong character what is further emphasized by the black silhouettes. The delicate woman figure almost becomes one with the background but the playful pattern of her dress rather highlights her. The whole composition resemble the style of the pop art period.
