For the first time in the United States—after presentations in Poland—a spectacular exhibition will be displayed in Chicago with 120 works on paper from 1919 to 1995 by 65 renowned Polish artists. These extremely valuable prints are from The Polish Museum of America permanent collection, including unique woodcuts from the Polish Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair in 1939–1940, and a lithograph by Stanisław Szukalski, an artist admired by Leonardo DiCaprio. The Hollywood star published a book about his family’s eccentric friend—an inspiration for his role in the film Titanic.
The Polish Museum of America has prepared an exhibition in cooperation with the National Museum in Kraków, Poland (Treasures of Polish Culture Abroad program) and with financial support from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (Warsaw, Poland).
To this day, there has not been any publication that documents the entire collection of the Polish Museum of America. Therefore, it is worth noting that this exhibition is accompanied by a 250 page illustrated catalog which details not only the contents of the exhibition, but also the background of the collections at the Polish Museum of America.
