Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Artists and Art Lovers!
  ...Two Years Have Passed Again! If it’s Sopron, this must be the Medal
    Biennial!
    The most faithful city – civitas fidelissima – Sopron decided
    to be a good host to the national muster of Hungarian medal art in 1977.
    This noble initiative of the town has grown into a time-honoured tradition,
    and now when we have ever fewer financial means at our disposal, we think
    it is an honourable task to stage the biennial exhibition. The adverse circumstances
    and various challenges have inspired audacity and professional cooperation
    that is not measurable in cash. That is how the exhibition could be realized,
    with also several companies and foundations close to the medal supporting
    the cause.
    The Biennial still has a very important role: it is a major forum for the
    Hungarian artists active in this field to present their works to one another
    and to delight the public, both our town-dwellers and the Hungarian and foreign
    visitors. It is particularly pleasurable that in addition to the “great
    old masters,” a large number of the youngest generation have also brought
    their works here, proving that the Sopron exhibition is still one of the
    most important events of Hungarian medal art.
    We owe our gratitude to all organizations, institutions and individuals that
    have helped our work by donating prizes or rendering all sorts of organizing
    work for the success of the Biennale. On behalf of the city of Sopron I wish
    every success to the artists and elevating experience to the visitors!
  
Dr. Tamás Fodor
