Welcome
to the Zoltan Kemeny website dedicated to the van
Stuijvenberg collection.
The Hungarian artist Zoltan Kemeny was born in 1907 in
Banica, Transylvania. In 1930 he moved to Paris and in 1942
he settled in Zurich, Switserland. Kemeny became
internationally well known for his metal reliefs at the end
of the fifties. Amongst numerous exhibitions worldwide
Kemeny took part in the second and third Dokumenta in
Kassel and exhibited at the Tate Gallery in London and
Galerie Fachetti in Paris. ln 1964, when Robert
Rauschenberg took out the Grand Prix for painting at the
Venice Bienalle, Zoltan Kemeny representing Switserland,
won the same award for sculpture. Only one year later
Zoltan Kemeny died at the age of 58.
At this moment there are three main collections of Kemeny’s
work: one based at the museé national d’art moderne Centre
Pompidou in Paris, collection Margrit Loh in Zug and the
van Stuijvenberg collection which is the largest private
collection and incorporates 13 metal reliefs by Zoltan
