In the First Person

The exhibition, entitled Andrzej Wróblewski (1927-1957): In the First Person, is set to be displayed at St. Mark's Square in Venice, specifically on the northern side of the Procuratie Vecchie, an area steeped in historical significance.

Curated by Anna Muszyńska, the project emerges from the initiative of the Starak Family Foundation. It has been selected as one of the 30 accompanying events at the Biennale by curator Adriano Pedrosa, marking the 60th International Art Exhibition in Venice.

Wróblewski's journey as an artist was marked by a strong engagement with socialist realism, yet he was equally fascinated by the boundaries of abstraction. He studied at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts and the Jagiellonian University in southern Poland, exploring beyond the colorism of the Capists.
