ResoArt Foundation
András Szabó, a renowned entrepreneur and founder of the Resonator Group, has been a leading figure in the business sector for over thirty years. In 2021, he established the Resonator Cultural and Art Foundation to preserve and exhibit the artifacts he had collected over the decades as a private collector, made possible by his entrepreneurial success. The ResoArt Foundation’s primary mission is to manage and showcase the Zsolnay and visual arts collection, organise professional exhibitions and events, and foster clubs and collector circles.
The Handling of the Collection
The collector’s main interests are high quality Zsolnay decorative ceramics from between the years 1870 and 1930 along with pieces of visual arts. The latter includes a number of paintings from József Egry, and artists from the Nagybánya School, such as Vilmos Csaba Perlrott.
The villa at 47 Városligeti Fasor, an architectural gem, was designed and built by architect Albert Kálmán Kőrössy for his own family. Today, it houses the Foundation’s private collection exhibition.
On the ground floor, the founder aims to continue the tradition of the private cultural salon, which has been active since 2016 and operating within the framework of the Foundation. Through this initiative, he seeks to showcase how private capital – when guided by social responsibility – can support education and foster a sense of community.
Our Mission
- Preserving and sharing the Foundation’s Zsolnay and visual arts collections through themed exhibitions, while protecting cultural heritage and promoting Hungarian visual and ceramic arts;
- Providing an in-depth exploration of Hungarian applied arts, visual arts, architecture, and the values of Hungarian culture and performing arts;
- Contributing to the development of a knowledge-based, educated, and open-minded society.
Our Further Goals
- To establish a dynamic and ever-evolving cultural venue through the Zsolnay exhibition and related events;
- To publish our own art albums and other materials;
- To actively support and find talented artists across all fields of art.
The Foundation aims to achieve these goals through its own revenue and external donations. If you wish to contribute, you can find more information here.
