Endre Tot

He studied at the Mural Department of the Hungarian College of Arts and Crafts from 1959 till 1965. He started to make informal paintings, an absolute novelty in Hungary, in the early '60s followed shortly by collages and works executed in the spirit of Pop Art and Minimal Art. He became attached in the mid-'60s to a leading but neglected Avant-Garde painter, Dezső Korniss who highly appreciated his pioneering informel ventures. In 1968 and 1969 he joined his young Neo-Avant-Garde colleagues named collectively the Iparterv Group of Artists at two scandalous exhibitions heavily criticised by officialdom. A retrospective of his early works was staged at the Budapest Kiscelli Museum in 1989, his early pencil and ink drawings were shown at Székesfehérvár's King Stephen Museum in 2003, while a comprehensive exhibition of his early works entitled "Early Works – from painted to unpainted pictures" at the Szombathely Gallery in 2004 presented most of his important works executed before his "My Unpainted Canvasses" (1970). After the political turn of 1989–1990 many of his major works executed back in the '60s were acquired by important Hungarian museums. ==The 1970s – The Beginnings of Concept Art==

In 1970–71 he broke radically with painting and has since been pre-occupied with Concept Art. "Tót may well have possessed the most phenomenal painter talent among artists living East of Amsterdam. And yet, he voluntarily relinquished painting for the sake of a truth that he had gradually recognised to be even more important than painting." (Géza Perneczky, writing in Új Művészet, October, 2003) As a farewell to his painter period he prepared his artist's book "My Unpainted Canvasses" (1970), a virtual presentation of his canvasses never actually accomplished. Also in the early 70s, he evolved some of his basic ideas like "Nothing/Zer0", "Rains and Gladnesses" that were to permeate his works in subsequent decades. The new media he employed in his art include telegrams, picture postcards, T-shirts, Xerox copies, typewriters, films, music, posters, graffiti, banners, actions, artist's books, street newsreels. Critics recognised his early "Absent Works" published by Cologne-based DuMont Verlag ("Aktuelle Kunst in Ost-Europa", 1972) to be the first conceptual works stemming from Eastern-Europe, works that were to be greatly enhanced in subsequent decades. Some other conceptual works of his were also published in Achille Bonito Oliva's "Europe/America: The Different Avant-Garde" (Milan, 1976). "He entered the stage of mail art almost in the very first hour", wrote Jean-Marc Poinsot in his catalogue of 1971 entitled "Mail Art-Communication - A Distance-Concept". His fellow mail art correspondents included his later friend Ben Vautier, John Armleder, George Brecht, Daniel Spoerri, Cosey Fanny Tutti, Genesis P-Orridge, Dieter Roth, Marina Abramovich, Ken Friedmann and his dog. His mail art was exhibited at the Paris Bi-Annual of 1972 together with art by such other mail art pioneers as Marcel Duchamp, Yves Klein, Richard Johnson, Ben Vautier, George Brecht. About his letters written with a zero code Pierre Restany, a friend of Yves Klein's, wrote this in 1978: "In the immaterial zone of a concentrated (ZEROED) sensitivity Endre Tót appears to be the Yves Klein of mail art, a monochrome of postage." His first museum exhibition was staged by the Israel Museum in 1975. Since Hungary had severed its diplomatic relations with Israel in 1967, Tót was forced to smuggle his works out of Hungary in an adventurous way. His conceptual works (e.g. his Rainproof-ideas) executed between 1970 and 1974 were exhibited there simultaneously with Alberto Giacometti's statues. Art magazines in Germany, Italy, and France took note of the exhibition with the Jerusalem Post commenting: "This is not to say that Endre Tot is the same race with Giacometti, but he is a totally new and rewarding experience." In 1974, the Swiss Howeg Verlag published his sheet of stamps called Zero-Post among the first artist's stamps of international mail art. At the invitation of John Armleder, his later friend who became world-famous for his Neo Geo movement, he spent half a year with the Ecart Gallery of Geneva, an institution also functioning as a mail art centre. It was during his stay in Geneva that he accomplished his first street action (TOTalJoys 1976) which was filmed and later issued on DVD by the Paris Bureau des Videos in 2005. His artist's books made in Budapest in the 70s earned him quite a lot of international praise. He had first published them on a samizdat basis but they were later republished by Western-European Avant-Garde publishers. 1971: "My Unpainted Canvasses", "The States of Zeros", "Semmi sem semmi / Nothing ain't Nothing", 1972: "Nothing", "Incomplete Informations", 1974: "Zero-Texts (1971-72)", "Night Visit to the National Gallery" (Beau Geste Press, UK), "Zero-Post", "Rainproof Ideas (1971-74)", 1979: "TÓTalJOYS", 1981: "Very Special Drawings", 1990: "Evergreen Book". In 1998, the Paris Bibliothèque Nationale bought several of his artist's books. The library of the Paris Pompidou Centre acquired his Correspondence avec John Armleder (Ecart, Geneva, 1974) in 2010. His artist's books were exhibited in many European, American and Canadian museums including the Pompidou Centre's "Livres d'Artistes" exhibition of 1985. He was still a resident of Budapest when, in 1977, he exhibited with Galerie Bama, one of the best-known Paris galleries. His show was reviewed in L 'Express by Otto Hahn. Due to his international actions and mail art activities he counted in the West as one of the most notable Eastern-European artists, an appraisal hardly acknowledged in his native country. He was plucked from the isolation of his Óbuda apartment in the late 70s by an invitation coming from the Artist-in-Berlin of DAAD. His applications for an exit permit had been refused by the authorities several times which created a political sensation in the Western press, a circumstance that eventually earned him a permit. After staying in Berlin for a year Tót opted for emigration. His Óbuda apartment was confiscated but his sibling had evacuated his works stored there in the nick of time. After being stored in various low-key places, they were eventually deposited with the Hungarian National Gallery in an orderly fashion. It was in West-Berlin that Tót came to realise the ideas that he had taken with him in his suitcase and in his mind from Budapest. Shortly after arriving, he placed the following inscription upon the Berlin Wall: "Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ich etwas auf die andere Seite der Mauer schreiben dürfte" (I should be glad if I were allowed to write something on the other side of this wall). He demonstrated his joys ("TÓTalJOYs") with posters in his hand or upon his back in the busiest spots of the metropolis. He even placed a flickering sentence speaking about his joy among the news items of a street newsreel atop a Kurfürstendamm building. In 1978 DAAD filmed and published in book form his street action named TOTalJOYS. He twice exhibited his works with Galerie René Block, an institution previously hosting such notables as Joseph Beuys, Richard Hamilton, Allan Kaprow, Nam June Paik, Wolf Vostell. The irony inherent in his actions and mail art definitely links him up with the fluxus movement in Germany. He was the sole Eastern-European protagonist of the itinerant exhibition organised by René Block entitled "Fluxus in Germany 1962-1992". ==The 1980s – Blackout in Cologne==

After a stay of one and a half years in Berlin he moved to Cologne with his German wife Herta. The first years of his Cologne period were much less productive than his stay in Berlin. He hardly ever worked until the mid-80s. Invited by Artist Place, he flew to New York City in 1982 with a piece of chalk in his pocket that he used for placing graffiti on the walls of the gallery. It was here that he met up with a great number of notable artists including Alan Kaprow and his friend of old, John Armleder. With the "blackout years" gone, as he himself called them, he started to work again feverishly from the late 80s on. He elaborated on the idea of "absent paintings", an idea dating back to his Budapest years (My Unpainted Canvasses, 1970, Night Visit to the National Gallery, A Visit to the Museum, both in 1974). With his "absent paintings" he accomplished a virtual return to painting but this was tantamount in his case to its final destruction. The spirit nurturing his Blackout and Catalogued paintings comes from an aesthetics of dearth. Conceived in an aesthetics of disappearance, his "absent" works attempt to visualise nothing and void itself. His large work entitled "Dada Messe in Berlin" was exhibited at the show ICONOCLASH: Beyond the Image Wars in Science, Religion and Art (ZKM, Karlsruhe, 2002) presenting major iconoclastic works by Dürer, Rembrandt, Goya, Duchamp, Malevich, Picabia, Warhol, Beuys etc. At the Bremen exhibition "Who Killed the Painting?" (Museum für Moderne Kunst, 2010) his large triptych "Fluxus Triptichon" (2002, 3 x 200 x 125 cm) was on view alongside works by Beuys, Kaprow, Ben Vautier, G. Brecht, Al Hausen, Nam June Paik etc. ==The 1990s – Retrospectives and Entering the Canon==

After the political change of 1989-1990 in Hungary Tót returned to his native country with his works created abroad. He filled all 12 exhibiting halls of the Palace of the Arts with them under the evocative title of "Nothing is Nothing". Four years later he exhibited with the Cologne Ludwig Museum (Who is afraid of Nothing?), and this selection of his works was re-exhibited with the Budapest branch of the Ludwig Museum in 1999. Tót is the first Hungarian artist to have been asked to put on an individual show at the Kassel Documenta. Curators there insisted on using the Hungarian title of his Budapest show (Semmi sem semmi) probably because they liked its exotic sound. His action on the city's main square involving him distributing flyers with a black mask hiding his face was cut short by the police even though the flyers contained no information at all. Along with his works accomplished in his studio, his street actions have also helped him achieve international fame. "I am glad that I have stood here" – this was inscribed in Hungarian on his bronze plaque placed in the pavement in 1998 in front of Artpool's art space in Budapest (60, Paulay Ede St.). Six years later a similarly inscribed plaque ("Ich freue mich, dass ich hier gestanden habe") was placed in the floor of the roof terrace of the Cologne Ludwig Museum. His Flyer, Zero, Joy etc. street actions as satellite events to international exhibitions have embarrassed or enraged passers-by in many cities over the decades, not infrequently causing even the police to intervene. International critics usually evaluate those anti-demonstrations by Tót to be responses to the mandatory political demonstrations that he had lived through as a young man in totalitarian Hungary. ==The 2000s==

A photo documentation of Tót's earliest street action was exhibited at the international show "Protest & Survive" put on by the famous London Whitechapel Gallery. Requested by the curators, he also re-staged his remarkable Geneva street action. The catalogue said this about his actions: "Tót's response to the censorship, isolation and suppression inherent in a totalitarian state was to produce his series of joy". At the exhibition staged by the Vienna Kunstforum entitled "Superstars von Warhol bis Madonna" (2005) his conceptual paperwork "depicting" or rather just marking Mona Lisa's (absent) smile was on view alongside Marcel Duchamp's famous moustached Mona Lisa. The New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) had acquired several works of his created during his Budapest isolation and exhibited them in 2006 at its show "Eye on Europe – 1960 to Now". Along with Czech artist Milan Knizak, Tót was the only exhibiting artist coming from Eastern Europe. Two years later MoMA director Glenn D. Lowry presented an Honorary Artist Membership to him. In 2009 he published a memoir entitled "I'm glad that I can write one sentence after another" with Noran Publishers, Budapest. A critic wrote this about the book: "This is half-way between a logbook and an autonomous work of art since the primacy of the text is questioned throughout by its unusual layout and illustrations... The account Tót gives of his youthful love-affair is deeply moving, the way he recalls the relationship of the regime towards its artists in the 60s and 70s, convincing, and the list of his fleeting affairs with girls is very funny." ==The 2010s – Tót in Collections==

In 2010 he exhibited with such wide-ranging institutions as Neues Museum Nürnberg, Museum für Moderne Kunst Wesenburg - Bremen, Centre Georges Pompidou Paris, The V. Koc Foundation Contemporary Art Collection Istanbul. The Pompidou Centre's catalogue published a copy of his 1975 letter to Pierre Restany ending with the words: "So I'm fucked with my zer0000000000000s". Simultaneously, the Institut Hongrois, the Hungarian Cultural Center in Paris staged a show of the Iparterv Group of Artists (Le Progrés de l'Illusion), where Tót's early (1966/67) informal paintings and paperworks were also on view. He has also been invited to a number of major international thematic exhibitions, the most important of those is the British Museum Artists ’poscard from 1960 to now exhibition in 2018, which featured 12 “Rain-pieces” from Tót. In 2017, the third German museum solo show of Endre Tót's works was installed at the Schwerin State Museum with the title zer0 makes me glad sad mad, but in recent years he had also had solo exhibitions in Paris, Milan, Vienna and Budapest. Following the invitation of the Palazzo delle Expositioni 2019 he traveled to Rome for the exhibition ''Techiche d'Evasione'', a show featuring works of the Hungarian Neo-Avant-Garde and presenting a variety many of Tót's early conceptual works from the early 1970s. His conceptual works were acquired from 1975 through 2010 by such major collections as those of MoMA New York, Getty Museum Los Angeles, Museum Ludwig Cologne, Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin, Israel Museum Jerusalem, Gemeentemuseum The Hague, and the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts as well as East-Central European museums like National Gallery Prague, Museum Stuki Łódź, Museum of Modern Art Ljubljana, National Gallery of Art Varsaw, Museum of Modern Art Olmütz, Hungarian National Gallery, Ludwig Museum Budapest, or even two museums in Latin-America: the Center de Arte y Communication (CAYC) Buenos Aires, and the Museu de Arte Contemporaneu da Universidade de São Paulo. Probably more than a hundred of his major works are preserved in such notable private collections as Sammlung Dr. Speck (Cologne), Sammlung René Block (Berlin), Das Archive Sohm (Stuttgart), The Sacker Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry (Miami Beach, Florida). After his retrospective exhibition 2012 in MODEM, Endre Tót almost completely terminated working in the studio and has been mainly focusing on street actions and "demos". On the occasion of the retrospective he organized a Zer0 demo with the participation of young people from Debrecen. This was Endre Tót's first public action in Hungary. One year later, on May 2, 2013 a large-scale Zer0 demo was implemented in Budapest with the support of nearly 200 young artists and friends. The demonstration took place on Budapest's most impressive boulevard, the Andrássy út and was escorted by the police. Further Zer0 demos took place 2015 in Cologne during Art Cologne (April 17, 2015), followed by a demonstration during his solo exhibition in Hamburg (8. September 2015). These rallies were of performative nature. Taking on the concept of his Gladness-demos in Bonn, Paris and Amsterdam during the 1970s and 1980s, in autumn of 2017 Endre Tót realized the first Gladness Demonstration in Budapest within the framework of the OFF Biennale, also on Andrássy út. In contrast to his early demonstrations with a few dozen participants in Western Europe, in 2017 he was able to spectacularly visualize the parade with the help of more than a hundred participants (October 8, 2017). Participants carried their own laughing portraits laminated on a large board as protest signs, while at the beginning of the parade there was a huge banner: ÖRÜLÜNK HOGY DEMONSTRÁLHATUNK (We are glad if we can demonstrate). A limited edition DVD was released of each demo. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, a well-known UK publisher, Show & Tell Editions, released a 75-copy edition of a non surgical face mask by Endre Tót with the sign TÒTalJOY. ==Awards and recognitions, scholarships==
