After studies in the Art schools of Budapest, it settles in Paris in 1947.

It meets there Brancusi in its workshop of the Ronsin dead end.

After Brancusi, it meets Le Corbusier in her workshop and André Wogenscky his nearer collaborator which will become her husband.

In 1952, in its first personal exposure, it inaugurates its cycle Charnières , sculptures in elements which are imbricated in already pure and flexible forms.

In 1954, it presents: Ebony, Boxwood and Filipino , then in 1956, Teak , sculpture articulable which inspires a ballet with the choreographer Maurice Béjart.

In 1957, the Équilibres start with Balance formed of a couple of swivels.

With floating Sculpture (1959-1960), for the park of Kröller-Muller with Otterlo, Marta Pan carries out its first monumental work. The movement is a component of the work of Marta Pan. She resorts to the natural movement.

In parallel, the cycles are succcédent: Cylinders, Mercury, Cones, Lenses.

Marta Pan has special relationships with the element Eau present in a great number of its works like the floating sculptures, the water walls, etc

Since its first floating sculpture, Marta Pan carried out many monumental sculptures integrated in architecture for public spaces and urban like the Prospect for Guyancourt in Yvelines. These achievements are in Europe, in the United States, in Japan, in Lebanon, in Saudi Arabia, etc

Interested by the reports/ratios of architecture and the sculpture, it concretizes this relation in works like the entries of the subway station Auber (Paris), 1972 or the wall of the Saint-Anthony Medical college.

With her husband André Wogenscky, Marta Pan had opportunity of often confronting this elementary research with collective architectures, but, it is perhaps with Saint-Rémy-the-Chevreuse, with the house that André Wogenscky conceived for the couple, that these works find their place natural, between nature and architecture, living peaceful contiguous park.
