She studied Hungarian Language and Literature, History and History of Art in Hungary, and museum curator studies at the Institut für Kulturwissenschaft, Vienna University (1994-96). She has been working in the museum field since 1988. Her main areas of research are historical modernism, the avant-garde, and art-related cultural policy in the 1960s and 1970s. Under her leadership, Kassák Museum has become a dynamic institution for avant-garde art, working to create new platforms for regional collaborative practices and research. It also engages in contemporary work focusing on questions of historical modernism and the avant-garde. Since autumn 2014, Sasvári has been leading a group of young researchers in the Kassák Museum. The group’s objective is to make a comprehensive study of Hungarian visual art of the 1960s and 1970s in the Central-Eastern European context.
