László Beke archive and research

Project leader: Emese Kürti, Zsuzsa László

The archive of the internationally renowned art historian László Beke, who passed away in 2022, was transferred to the KEMKI ADK collection in 2023 thanks to the family's honourable decision, and thus became the main pillar of the Beke's life work processing carried out by the Research Department of KEMKI under the umbrella of the Resonances project. Once arranged and processed, the archive will be accessible to external researchers.

In service of László Beke’s oeuvre and the visibility of his archive, a collection of texts in English is in the process of being published by an international company, an international conference is in the works for 2025, and, in the longer term, the compilation of a more comprehensive collection of texts is planned in Hungarian.

In May 2024, the Research Department will organise a professional event in celebration of the 80^th anniversary of László Beke’s birth, where, in addition to our researchers, outside guests will also be invited.

• World-Famous World-Archives – László Beke 80, 23. 05. 2024.
