Autobiography:
I Was Here (Life, Science and Art in Turbulent Times). 363 pages. Amazon.
As a preteen, I studied painting in Budapest with György Kádár, then one of Hungary's foremost artists. It was also there, during my high school years, where I learned the machining and tool and die-making skills that form the mechanical foundation of the current works.
My early years were spent under the Hungarian fascist regime and later under the Soviet occupation. I escaped and immigrated to this country after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
My professional life has been in neuroscience research, currently as the John Evans Professor of Neuroscience Emeritus at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL.
In 1998 I began making sculptures and have been a professional sculptor since 2012. While I am self-taught, I am not a "naive" or "outsider" artist. My work is informed by studying contemporary art since high-school days and collecting since the 1960s – producing a representative collection of Chicago Imagist and later Haitian art.
