GESSEL for Art

 

We support contemporary art and the art community. We have been running two foundations for years:

  • GESSEL Foundation for the Zachęta National Gallery of Art. The foundation’s goal is to support young artists, including through scholarships and enabling them to further their artistic development.
  • GESSEL Foundation for the National Museum in Warsaw. The object of the Foundation’s activities is to enlarge the National Museum’s collection of Polish contemporary art.

On the occasion of GESSEL’s 30th anniversary, we acquired a new work, Birds (A Funeral Altar) by Diana Lelonek. The installation is a tribute to dying nature. The choice of the work is not accidental – it is connected to our concern for the environment, which we have so far also demonstrated through specific actions. Now we also manifest it in a symbolic dimension.
