Zachęta – National Gallery of Art
Affecting the eye of Magdalena Więcek is another monographic presentation of the work of a Polish 20th-century sculptor at Zachęta. Exhibitions by artists such as Alina Szapocznikow, Alina Ślesińska and Barbara Zbrożyna revealed the significance of their explorations and the universality of their works, as well as the process of building women’s creative independence, which is also part of the art of Magdalena Więcek (1924–2008). On the one hand, it results from the experience of the entire generation that created after socialist realism, on the other hand, it is an important element of the artistic achievements of women from this generation.
