BASIL RAKOCZI EXHIBITIONS

Basil Rákóczi has featured in over 150 exhibitions, of which more than 60 have been solo shows. His first commercial show was in 1935, a small exhibition at the Artificer’s Guild in Cambridge, of which he wrote about his “excitement and nervousness.”

He has also had one man shows in London, Manchester, Dublin, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Paris, Brussels, New York, Philadelphia, Nashville, and many other places.

He exhibited regularly at the Irish Museum of Living Art from 1944 to 1960, at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin from 1942 to 1952 and at the Watercolour Society of Ireland from 1941 to 1950, and more recently his work was included in a show in 2004.

He has art works in public collections across the globe including:

Brighton, University of Sussex
Derby, City Art Gallery
Manchester, City Art Gallery
Dublin, Trinity College
Belfast, Ulster Museum
Queensland, Australia, National Collection
Auckland, City Art Gallery

A limited edition copy of his book ‘The Caged and the Free’ is with the Victoria and Albert Museum, London

Rákóczi featured in a major exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, in 2005 entitled The White Stag Group. He would have been just as nervous and excited as he was at that first show if he had been alive to see it!

And more recently he is featured in a major Exhibition at IMMA entitled 'The Moderns'. Two of his paintings were on show, both on canvas, 'The Prisoner' and 'Child Flying', plus a copy of his 1954 book, The Painted Caravan.

In October 2011, his work featured in a White Stag Group Exhibition, organised by Adams, the art auctioneers, at their Clandeboye estate base, which then moved, in January 2012, to their St Stephen's Green base in Dublin.
