The Future in the Present: The Representation of “Up-to-Dateness” in the Visual Culture of the 1960s
György Jerovetz

This essay analyses a few of Gábor Papp’s posters and the circular structure of the Hotel Budapest designed by György Szrogh from the point of view of how the con­temporaneous notion of “up-to-dateness” appears in the evolution of these works. Furthermore it examines the meaning of “up-to-dateness” and introduces the pos­sible references of the works. In the case of the Hotel Budapest it dwells on the construction process as well as its reception in the press.
