From the moment Teréz Gerszi took her degree in art history and museology in 1951 she has been working at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest where, from 1979 to 1992, she was head of the print room. Over the decades since those early days she has organized a great number of exhibitions in Europe and in the United States, and in the course of more than half a century she has published a vast amount of books, articles and catalogues, some of which have been pioneering works, mostly on the art of drawing. The celebration of Teréz Gerszi's eightieth birthday was the special occasion for the publication of this Festschrift.
