International Collage in Poland

COLLAGE ON VIEW

International Collage Art Exhibition

at Retroavangarda Gallery in Warsaw, Poland
12 April-15 June 2019

Retroavangarda’s exhibition of international collage art surveys the most interesting and recent accomplishments in the field and, at the same time, is one of the largest collage expositions in Europe in recent years. The exhibition showcases over 200 original, handmade pieces crafted by masters of collage around the world, including Japan, Argentina, Bolivia, Guatemala, Brazil, Peru, Canada, USA, Greece, Spain, Italy, France, Great Britain, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and more.

In recent years, collage has become very popular, not only as editorial illustration, but also as a work of art on its own. The exhibition shows how difficult this technique is, what are its types and how wide spectrum of artistic solutions can be achieved with it. It also provides an opportunity to compare the development of contemporary collage art in different countries and to see how cultural differences can influence its form.

The exhibition is organized under the honorary patronage of the embassies to Poland of Argentina, Brazil and Peru.

Curator Anna Kłos is an academic lecturer, who wrote her PhD thesis about collage. The exhibition was organized by Retroavangarda and WIT-Szkoła Wyższa pod auspicjami PAN, Apollo Rida
