Auction: 19.03.2024 (Tuesday), 7PM
Place: Auction House Polswiss Art, Wiejska 20, 00-490 Warsaw
The catalog of the spring Art Auction on March 19, 2024 features 111 collector’s items from Old Masters art to contemporary art. Amongst them a set of 4 works by Rafał Milach from his ‘Collection Under Construction’ (2021) cycle
In 2021, Rafal Milach took a series of photographs of works belonging to the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. The photos, which were originally used to promote the collection, were taken in a convention consistent with his reporter photography. Sharp light is cast on the composition found in the natural set, and color is used in a decisive and key way. This distinctive authorial way of seeing turned them into autonomous collector’s objects. Of all the photographs taken at the time, four were selected and combined into a limited edition of 30 sets and, among the offerings of other collector’s editions, were included in the sale, the proceeds of which support the building of the collection and the realization of the goals of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Warsaw.
Profit from the auction will be used for the activities of the Society of Friends of the MSN and the expansion of the museum’s collection.
