Art, Education, and Accompanying Exhibitions
For years, the mission of the Warsaw Art Fair has been to promote art in its broadest sense. We place great emphasis on education and always prepare engaging accompanying exhibitions. In past editions, we’ve introduced a wider audience to the works of great artists such as Jacek Malczewski, Witkacy, Tadeusz Kantor, Wojciech Fangor, and Magdalena Abakanowicz.
This year’s Fair will be accompanied by three exhibitions:
-
“Forma mówi” – devoted to the work of Prof. Janusz Antoni Pastwa (patron: Galeria Sztuki Limited Edition),
-
“Artists” – showcasing sculptures by Józek Nowak,
-
“Jacek Siudziński In Memoriam” – presented by the Museum of the Mińsk Land.
Lectures, Panels & Special Guests
We have also prepared a rich program of lectures and panel discussions (free admission), not only on art but also on topics such as the role of business in supporting artistic projects. Omenaa Mensah, president of the Omenaa Art Foundation, will discuss the fusion of business and art. The Foundation is widely recognized for supporting artistic initiatives and organizing the Great Charity Art Auction.
Another highlight will be a talk on the fascinating life of Tamara de Lempicka, enriched by personal stories from her great-granddaughter, Marisa Lempicka.
We also invite you to a panel on contemporary sculpture with:
-
Prof. Janusz Antoni Pastwa,
-
Tomasz Górnicki,
-
Józek Nowak,
-
Maciej Aleksandrowicz (Director of the Centre of Polish Sculpture in Orońsko),
And a discussion on Polish poster art with:
Andrzej Pągowski, Mieczysław Wasilewski, and Ryszard Kajzer.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of WTS, Piotr Lengiewicz and Marek Lengiewicz, owners of D.A. Rempex and founders of the Warsaw Art Fair, will reflect on the origins of the local art market, recalling early auctions and the beginnings of WTS.
