What is Art for the CureTM?
Launched in late 2006 with events at Susan G. Komen for the Cure affiliate cities across the United States, Art for the CureTM does more than present great paintings and small masterpieces to a world audience, it also increases breast health awareness and helps raise vital funds to support national and international breast cancer outreach and education efforts at each event.
The Brinker Collection represents a rewarding survey of achievements of Hungarian culture and presents our shared aesthetic heritage. The span of styles, the range of references, and the variety of media in the Brinker Collection attest to the expansiveness of Hungarian art, both of the classical avant-garde era and of contemporary times.
In this stimulating assembly of great paintings and small master-pieces, the Brinker Collection affords a new vision of an art and a history that belongs as much to us as it does to Hungary.
