Klára Herczeg

Klára Herczeg, also known as Claire Weiss, was a Hungarian sculptor. She established the Klára Herczeg Prize, awarded annually by the Young Artists Foundation. Her works have been exhibited since 1925, including at the 1937 Paris World Exhibition and the 1939 New York World's Fair. Approximately 30 of her sculptures are housed in Budapest and other Hungarian museums, while her works are also displayed internationally, such as at the Albrecht-Dürer-Haus in Nuremberg.

Interestingly, Herczeg´s porcelain and ceramic figures created between 1930 and 1940 were never showcased or acknowledged in exhibitions, but they periodically appear in art auctions and antique markets. It is documented that she designed over 200 figures.
