From 1971 to 1972, the Hungarian artist György Galántai advocated and organized an art exhibition program in Balatonboglár near Lake Balaton in Hungary in an abandoned chapel that he repurposed as a venue for artistic happenings and events, calling it the Balatonboglári Kápolna-Tárlat (Chapel Studio). This collection contains a sample of prints and printed ephemera created by prominent artists who participated in events at The Chapel Studio, and exemplifies avant-garde art created in an alternative semi-public art space in the early 1970s in Communist Hungary
