‘10 Projekt Fotografia Kolekcjonerska’
Galeria DAP 2, Warsaw
11.10.2012 - 23.10.2012
The goal of the Fotografia Kolekcjonerska project is to promote the collection of photography in Poland and popularise works by Polish masters among international audiences. We select those of the artists’ works which have a special place in their oeuvre, i.e. which are exhibited, published and win prizes, both in Poland and abroad.
Photography, collected since the very beginnings of its 170-year-long history, is currently at its peak of popularity. Highly esteemed as a legitimate discipline of art and exhibited in the greatest museums of the world, it is enjoying a growing popularity among collectors. Year by year, photographs offered by major auction houses worldwide are sold at record-breaking prices.
To our delight, private photography collections are also being set up and expanded in Poland, with owners ever more frequently willing to show their collections to the public. This trend is exemplified by the collection of Joanna and Krzysztof Madelski, entitled the Subject of Gender and Desire, which was shown during this year’s edition of the Fotofestiwal in Łódź, as well as by the exhibition Life Flesh. Photography from the Collection of Cezary Pieczyński, shown in the framework of the Photomonth in Cracow.
Willing to support the growing interest in the collection of photography, this year we have the honour to present works by such artists as: Zdzisław Beksiński, Dorota Buczkowska, Jan Bułhak, Joanna Chudy, Roman Cieślewicz, Zbigniew Dłubak, Benedykt Jerzy Dorys, Przemek Dzienis, Krzysztof Gierałtowski, Józef Głogowski, Maurycy Gomulicki, Edward Hartwig, Ryszard Horowitz, Henryk Hermanowicz, Magda Hueckel, Waldemar Jama, Jacek Kołodziejski, Jerzy Kosiński, Georgia Krawiec, Aleksander Krzywobłocki, Ewa Kuryluk, Paweł Kwiek, Andrzej Lachowicz, Natalia LL, Rafał Milach, Fortunata Obrąpalska, Anna Orłowska, Marek Piasecki, Paweł Pierściński, Krzysztof Pijarski, Jacek Poremba, Wojciech Prażmowski, Agnieszka Rayss, Józef Robakowski, Tadeusz Rolke, Sławomir Rumiak, Zofia Rydet, Bronisław Schlabs, Leonard Sempoliński, Mikołaj Smoczyński, Juliusz Sokołowski, Jan Spałwan, Jan Tarasin, Wojtek Wieteska and Joanna Zastróżna.
