“Andrzej Wróblewski. Waiting Room” exhibition online

21.12.2020

The Andrzej Wróblewski Foundation is making the Andrzej Wróblewski. Waiting Room exhibition available online. The show opened on 15 October 2020 in Moderna galerija in Ljubljana, one of Europe’s most prestigious museums of modern art. It will stay open until 10 January 2021. The exhibition is now available online for those who cannot travel to Ljubljana.

Andrzej Wróblewski. Waiting Room consists of 121 works created mainly in the years 1955-1957. Some of the works are inspired by Wróblewski and the art critic Barbara Majewska’s 1956 trip to Yugoslavia. A large part of the exhibition consists of paintings that have never been exhibited before or were last shown to the public in 1958. The exhibition also features artists from former Yugoslavia, including some of whom Wróblewski met personally, building a common context and often establishing a direct dialogue with the Polish artist. The curators of the exhibition are Magdalena Ziółkowska and Wojciech Grzybała from the Andrzej Wróblewski Foundation, and Marko Jenko from Moderna galerija. The exhibition and its online version were produced in cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.
