Her uncle was the sculptor, [Lux Elek](/source/Lux_Elek), who taught her when she studied, between 1926 and 1931, at the Hungarian Royal National School of Arts and Crafts, now incorporated into the [Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design](/source/Moholy-Nagy_University_of_Art_and_Design). At the time, the school was influenced by the [Arts and Crafts movement](/source/Arts_and_Crafts_movement) that had begun in the British Isles and spread to the rest of Europe. Her first exhibition was in the Hungarian capital, [Budapest](/source/Budapest). She then went to Rome on a study visit and in 1932 her work was exhibited at *La Esposizione d’arte della giovanezza fascista romana* (Exhibition of Roman fascist youth).[1][2] ## Career Lux created [classicist](/source/Classicism) and decorative sculptures, and small sculptures, working with a range of materials including stone, aluminium, and clay. She received five awards from various exhibitions between 1934 and 1940: a gold medal at the [Brussels International Exposition (1935)](/source/Brussels_International_Exposition_(1935)); two gold medals and one silver medal at the *[Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne](/source/Exposition_Internationale_des_Arts_et_Techniques_dans_la_Vie_Moderne)*, held in Paris in 1937; and a gold medal at the *[Triennale di Milano](/source/Triennale_di_Milano)* in Milan in 1940. She participated in other exhibitions in Hungary in the same period and also in *[Les femmes artistes d'Europe](/source/Les_femmes_artistes_d'Europe)*, the first international all-woman art show in France, held at the *[Jeu de Paume](/source/Jeu_de_Paume)* in Paris in 1937.[2][3][4] She married Hugó Gregersen and used the names G. Lux Alice or Gregersenné Lux Alice. She sculpted [reliefs](/source/Reliefs) on a number of buildings her husband designed, including in Dereglye Street on the [Buda](/source/Buda) side of the [Danube](/source/Danube) in Budapest, and on the Gubacsi housing estate, on the facades of a school building on Újvidék Square, and on Bem József Street 24, all in Budapest. Several of her earlier works were tombstones and, much later, she would sculpt a tombstone for herself and her husband, who died in 1975. Notable among her outdoor sculptures is the aluminium *Girl with a Jug*, to be found in [Oroszlány](/source/Oroszl%C3%A1ny) in the [Komárom-Esztergom County](/source/Kom%C3%A1rom-Esztergom_County) of Hungary. Four of her works were placed in the headquarters of the Hungarian General Credit Bank in [Debrecen](/source/Debrecen).[2][4][5] Lux returned to exhibiting in 1951, taking part in the annual Hungarian Fine Art Exhibitions held at the [Hall of Art, Budapest](/source/Hall_of_Art,_Budapest). She continued to work until after 1977, when she finalized a tombstone for the Hungarian opera singer, [Losonczy György](/source/Losonczy_Gy%C3%B6rgy). Her last recorded exhibition was in 1968.[1][2] ## Death Lux died on 21 August 1988. She was buried with her husband in the [Farkasréti Cemetery](/source/Farkasr%C3%A9ti_Cemetery) in Budapest (Plot 35–5–73).[2] ## References 1.
