Polish Sculpture of the Twentieth Century in the Collections of the National
Museum in Warsaw. Status quo. May 6 - June 16, 1996
The purpose of this exhibition was to present the most important trends in
sculpture in Poland in the 20th century. More than 100 sculptures from the
National Museum’s collection of more than 1,200 works, beginning with the
symbolism of Boleslaw Biegas and Xawery Dunikowski, through the classicism
of the 20 years of the interwar period, to Henryk Kuna, Edward Wittig, the
constructivism of Katarzyna Kobro, the socialist realist works of the first years
after the Second World War, and later works in realist or classicist style. Hanna
Kotkowska-Bareja prepared the exhibition. Simultaneously, Polish sculpture
from the 1980s and 90s from the collections of the Center for Polish Sculpture
in Oronsko was also displayed. Installations and video-objects were included
as well. The curator of the exhibition was Kazimierz Piotrowski.
Both exhibitions were organized through the cooperation of the National
Museum in Warsaw and the Center for Polish Sculpture in Oronsko, where
they had previously been mounted (see below); the accompanying catalogue
was edited by Hanna Kotkowska-Bareja and Kazimierz Piotrowski.
