Władysław Hasior’s exhibition at MOCAK will be the first such comprehensive Krakow presentation of the artist’s work in four decades. Hasior is one of the most prominent Polish artists.
The MOCAK exhibition sets out to restore him to his rightful place in the art history of the 20th century. The audience will see some hundred works from 1956–1986, a number of which have never been shown before. The exhibition will also include film and photographic documentation from the 1960s, fragments of film by Grzegorz Dubowski and many other works.
They will provide a backdrop to the presentation of an artist who in the 1970s and 80s was a Polish ‘export item’ but who, however, as a result of a less than favourable unfavourable reception in the art world, became for many years a somewhat forgotten figure.
