The works were purchased from the Fajó Foundation, which manages the artist’s work. Fajó, who died in 2018, dealt in geometric constructivism and is considered to continue the tradition set by Lajos Kassák.

The MNB’s Value Treasury programme, in which it spent Ft 30 billion on art pieces, ran between 2014 and 2018, but the bank has continued to purchase artwork since then.
