June29 – August 17, 2018
The exhibition ‘Among Friends’ testifies of the personal friendships between Stefan Szydłowski and the presented the artists, revealing the primary roots of the Gallery. The principal purpose is to show artists who were involved with the Gallery since the beginning, who knew each other and were friends. In the first room there are works of Koji Kamoji, Edward Krasiński and Edward Narkiewicz, as a reminder of their regular meetings with Stefan Szydłowski at Henryk Stażewski’s studio (nowadays ‘Institute of Avant-garde’ in Warsaw). The second room is dedicated to selected key-figures in the Polish abstract painting, such as Wojciech Fangor, Stefan Gierowski, Zbigniew Gostomski, Aleksandra Jachtoma and Jan Tarasin. Works of Tomasz Tatarczyk, who was close to all these artists although representing an original artistic position of his own, are placed in the space connecting the two main rooms.
