The Legacy of Art Collections: Dr Gábor B Szabó at the Art is Business Event
The latest edition of the Art is Business “Connections” series focused on the challenges and opportunities of passing down private art collections across generations.
The discussion highlighted the importance of aligning the legal, emotional, and cultural dimensions of art succession.
Dr Gábor B Szabó emphasized that long-term value preservation relies on intentional planning through structures such as foundations or family constitutions. Collections can only become true legacies if they are passed on not just as physical objects, but as lasting values embraced by the next generation.
Many thanks to the Art is Business team for the invitation and the thoughtfully organized event!

Press Release
Primus Trust Asset Management Zrt categorically rejects the claim of the Hungarian National Bank that it would carry out any activity subject to a license without the appropriate license. At the same time, we are puzzled by the unprecedented mega fine imposed by the MNB on a service provider that, even by MNB’s own admission, did not gain any financial advantage from the allegedly unauthorized lending activity.
On the other hand, we declare that we only carry out fiduciary activities that fully comply with the relevant legal requirements, have the necessary permits, and use all available legal tools to protect the legitimate interests of our clients.
