‘Some people are like hills’ is an exhibition of works by some of the most outstanding artists of Polish post-war art from the collection of Anna and Jerzy Starak. The title of the exhibition is taken from what is described as one of the most important texts of the 20th century, Guillaume Apollinaire’s poem ‘The Hills’, understood as a prophecy of the impending ‘new world’ and new art. The presentation opens with a series of gouaches by Andrzej Wróblewski, where the artist illustrated individual verses of the work. 

The exhibition features pieces by such artists as Magdalena Abakanowicz, Jan Berdyszak, Jan Dobkowski, Wojciech Fangor, Stanisław Fijałkowski, Stefan Gierowski, Maria Jarema, Tadeusz Kantor, Katarzyna Kobro, Ewa Kuryluk, Danuta Lewandowska, Jerzy Nowosielski, Roman Opałka, Teresa Pągowska, Maria Pinińska-Bereś, Erna Rosenstein, Kajetan Sosnowski, Henryk Stażewski, Władysław Strzemiński, Alina Szapocznikow, Teresa Tyszkiewicz, Ryszard Winiarski and Andrzej Wróblewski.

The presentation is also a summary of 10 years of Spectra Art Space, an organisation based on a programme by the curator Ania Muszyńska.

Exhibition from January 27 till May 7, 2023.
