Dr Zoltán Gálig studied at the Teachers’ Training College in Pécs and at the ELTE University, Budapest. His professional career is firmly linked to the city of Szombathely, particularly to the city gallery. He has been working in the Gallery of Szombathely since 1985 and was its director between 2000 and 2005. His main research interests include the less known, marginalized tendencies of fine arts. His main themes are the art of the first half of the 20th century, contemporary art and, particularly, the role of women’s art. Following 1989, he played an important role in that art confined to the margins during socialism could be integrated in cultural debates and exhibitions.
