A tribute to Wanda Czelkowska, one of the leading artists of the Polish avant-garde.
Wanda Czelkowska (1930-2021) was a key figure of the Polish avant-garde, whose oeuvre remained almost unnoticed by art historians until recently. She started her career near the end of the 1950s in Kraków and played an important role in the development of conceptual art in Poland. Member of the famous Grupa Krakowska, she kept her independent voice and never fully committed to the artistic discourse and social life of the group. In this fully illustrated monograph, created in collaboration with the Muzeum Susch, a wide range of authors contextualise Wanda Czelkowska's practice within post-war international discourses such as abstract and conceptual art, feminist practices, the human body and its relation to space.
